Recognizing the need to maintain one's spiritual health.

 

Here at Casa de Santa Maria Magdalena, Gabriel and I have been blessed to have the opportunity to serve some of our ministry leaders of the Catholic Diocese. We held two different retreats focused on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ingnatius.

Our prayers and desires of holding the two retreats were to give an opportunity to those who are in ministry roles in more populated areas of our diocese recognize the need to maintain their spiritual health. We were blessed to have Padre Niño Vásquez SJ who journeyed from Lima who is an expert in St Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercise’s lead the retreats.

The 1st retreat we welcomed 27 women and, on the 2nd, retreat we received 14 men and 7 women join us for three days. Though it was not the common 8 day or 30-day retreat that most people make it was most definitely a great introduction for those who attended, and it gave them the most important tools associated with Saint Ignatius’s spiritual exercises which are attended to deepen one’s relationship with God through mediations, prayer and contemplative practices.  With the goal to deepen one’s relationship with Jesus Christ, to help them become free from disorders, and attachments so they may discover their identity, and mission.

 

We are so thankful to everyone who partners with us through prayer and by their financial sacrifices. Without you this retreat would not have been possible.
