Mystery of Divine Metaphor

Our ever present and revealing God can be incomprehensible.  God is mystery.  No human word or image or thought can fully capture or explain who God is.  Our Scriptures and Jesus Himself used many metaphors for us to reflect on and give us hints of this Loving God to contemplate and reflect on.  In this Jubilee Year of Hope, we will reflect on Metaphors used by Jesus and Mystic Saints:  Vine and Branches, Salt and Light, Fig Trees, Hidden Jewel, Yeast, Crops, Sheep, Lambs, Dark Nights, Fire, Shepherds, etc., and what Jubilee means in our lives and world.  These weeks will include Presentations, Prayer, Eucharist, Silence, Reconciliation and Healing services.  Come for some reflection and renewal.

The retreat will begin at 7:00 PM on Sunday and conclude with lunch on Friday.
