A SUMMER STILLNESS RETREAT WITH FR. RON ROLHEISER OMI
Monday, July 15, 7:00 p.m. to Thursday, July 18, 12:00 p.m.
A Retreat offered at Queen’s House and on Zoom
Monday evening Public Lecture:
The Cross and the Rainbow: The Deep Secret Inside the Gospels and Inside of Life Itself
Before Jesus, the biblical sign of God’s unshakeable fidelity was the rainbow. After Good Friday, the cross is now the sign of that fidelity. It is not so much that we misunderstand this mystery but rather that we do not probe deeply enough into its richness. What are the deep “secrets” and “truths” revealed in the passion and death of Jesus? How is the cross now the ultimate rainbow? A reflection on the paschal mystery.
Tuesday to Thursday Retreat:
Entering into the Cycle of Death – Resurrection – Grieving – Ascension – Pentecost – The Mystery of Transformation
Jesus’ undergoing the Paschal Mystery is a paradigm for us to follow. How do new life and new spirit appear in our lives? How do we name our deaths, claim our births, grieve what’s lost, let our losses bless us, and then receive new spirit for our lives? How do we learn to live peacefully inside of our own skins? The paschal mystery is the secret. How do we undergo paschal transformation?
