The Christian Heritage Centre is delighted to announce this weekend retreat led by Fr Emmanuel Mansford, CFR contemplating the healing and transformational work of grace in the ordinary and imperfect lives of the saints. In the light of their example, the retreat will offer an opportunity to reflect on and to seek healing for the wounds in our own lives.
Holiness begins with the acknowledgment of our need for healing and redemption. The saints were not perfect people. Like us, they were born into a broken world and experienced their own share of brokenness. Progressively they were transformed by the Lord’s grace and mercy. The saints show us this very real human journey lived out in very real human ways.
During this retreat the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal will help us to acknowledge our own wounds and seek the healing power of grace as experienced concretely by different saints.
Retreat structure:
This retreat will offer several talks over the weekend, framed by opportunities for Mass, communal prayer in the morning and evening, and Adoration.
Free time for walks and reflection is built into each retreat.
