Engaging with the Living Word of God
Do you desire a more conversational relationship with God? Are you curious about how to more readily encounter Christ in our world? If so, consider participating in Manresa’s Lectio Prayer Group.
Lectio divina is rooted in Scripture, the living Word of God. By reading the Word, listening and considering how God is speaking to you in daily life, you can grow in finding God in all things. This is a practice that helps you to discern your journey toward God.
Facilitators: Paula Dow and Kay Dodson completed Manresa’s Internship in Ignatian Spirituality. They are both experienced in leading lectio divina.

There’s a special atmosphere in the house when people come together for a shared purpose, growing closer to the Lord and to one another in silent, prayerful communion.

Arrival time begins at 5:00 PM on the opening date of the retreat session, dinner is at 6:00 PM and the retreat itself begins at 7:30 PM.

In the end, this brings us to our quiet center to be still with God and to know His peace. Join us for this healthy, healing practice in an atmosphere of prayer and meditation.

Patron: Fr. Robert de Nobili, SJ. Retreat Directors: Fr. Leo Cachat, SJ, DiAnne Patterson Schultz, Mary Gresens.
