Spirituality of Aging
6 Day Guided Retreat on Ageing
A retreat for older people, based on the belief that the evening of life is a season to love the things of God, the people of God and be one in God. It is said that the focus of the first half of life is to learn how to make the outer journey. The task of the second half is embracing the inner journey of the soul. Whether one is just stepping into this stage of life, or is well along its path, the invitation offered is gentle hospitality towards oneself, others and God. We attend to deepening our intimacy with God in company with Jesus, as we continue, or embark upon this last and greatest stage of our life's journey. This retreat enables us to bring the workshops and seminars on aging and retirement to the deeper level of prayer and relationship.
Presented by Sr. Mary Baker rsj, Sr. Lois Ann Richardi csfn, and Mrs. Barbara Bowring
