We invite you to join us on our residential weekend retreat with Fr Matt Blake, OCD.
Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591) is one of the most profound spiritual masters in the history of the Church and his insights into the nature and action of divine love, the work of the Holy Spirit, are profound yet, beautiful and simple. In this retreat, we will reflect on the wisdom of John’s teachings about the Holy Spirit who leads us into an experience of the transforming love of God that leaves us more perfect in love

‘Listening to the Voice of the Heart’: A Contemplative Weekend Retreat
3rd – 5th June
At the first Pentecost the first believers in Jesus experienced the powerful inflow of the spirit of Risen Lord which filled the Church and poured forth into the world (Acts 2). This is the promise of every Pentecost. This retreat will prepare us to enter more deeply into the mystery of Pentecost, encouraging us to allow ourselves to experience the loving inflow of divine love that empowers and recreates.
“Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours, no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which is to look out Christ’s compassion to the world;
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.”
