Delve into the profound spiritual wisdom of Saint John of the Cross in this reflective Day of Recollection. Through insightful talks and quiet moments of prayer, participants will explore the themes of trust, surrender, and love in the midst of spiritual trials and uncertainties. This retreat offers an accessible introduction to the transformative journey of the “dark night” as a path to union with God. Perfect for those seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual life and the enduring light of God’s love.
We invite you to join us for Holy Mass in the Chapel at 9 AM. Check in will begin at 9:45. Coffee, tea and pastries will be available. Included in this day is a hot lunch. This will be served at 12:30 in the dining hall of the Enders House, an early 20th century arts and crafts style mansion and the oldest structure on the island.
