To be told one is a “Godsend” by someone is a beautiful affirmation, yet this intriguing word is rarely explored for its depth of meaning. Join us for a silent retreat devoted to exploring our participation in God’s mission, God’s “self-sending” in the world. Whatever our age, or however our circumstances are changing, we can deepen our sense of embodying God’s outreaching love. Through prayer and reflection we can realize more deeply that mission is about who we are becoming, rather than a matter of tasks to fulfill. Our reflections will be guided with a series of presentations and time for prayer and pondering.
