T
he "Retreat in Daily Life" has successfully concluded two weeks ago. Aptly named, this "retreat" allows busy individuals to continue with their ordinary everyday routines, but setting aside time during the day for some quiet prayer. This is complemented by "once-a-week" meetings with a spiritual director who help participants through the prayer experience.
Having recently completed the retreat, I have found myself quite blessed by the experience. Through it, I have learned a deeper and more enriching way of connecting with God through daily prayer and scripture meditation. During the course of the retreat, I found the regular meetings with a spiritual director tremendously helpful in developing a better disposition for daily prayer, as well as a greater personal involvement in the experience of scripture during meditation. At the end of the three week process, I feel I've gained a greater sensitivity to the movement of God in the nuances of my daily life. It has given me the eyes to see God in all things. I highly recommend it to those who are seeking to move forward in their prayer life.
