“The difference between a soul that is truly on fire and growing in genuine holiness, as opposed to a soul who is just coasting along, is the quality of solitary prayer that is present in their life.” – Fr. Jeremiah Shryock
“This time we set apart is a good way to remember who you are in relation to the Father, rather than being a person with a certain career or particular position, or in relation to others as spouse or parent.” – Deanna Bartalini
“A few days before the retreat begins, I ask them to pray with this question, ‘Where are you?’ from Genesis 3:9.” – Fr. Jeremiah Shryock
“You know that there are battles all around us. But did you know about the battle in—and for—your mind? Join me on the 31st to learn more.” – Dan Burke
“The retreatant takes an honest look at the worldly things that capture his/her fancy and upon which they have built their identity. In prayer, they are led to consider materialism and all the ‘stuff’ in their life from the honest perspective of how they see themselves with that stuff.” – Debra Black
“I want to personally invite you to join me, Stephanie, and a gifted lineup of speakers and spiritual directors and enter into Holy Week renewed and inspired by the sheer power of story.” – Dan Burke
“The spiritual life, our relationship with God, is eternal and never-ending. Similarly, the Spiritual Exercises have no ‘end’.” – Debra Black
“If the way of contemplation and discipleship that the Lord calls me to embrace becomes just about how I will serve on my terms, what I am owed, or retribution then I will follow an apparent angel of light who is a deceiver. Without such child-like vigilance, I easily can reecho the cry of Lucifer, I will not serve.” – Fr. Matthew MacDonald
“Many of us will have the opportunity to experience one-time spiritual direction while on retreat. It can be valuable, but there are certain cautions that experienced directors offer about what to expect and how to make the best use of that single meeting.” – Claire Dwyer
