Finding God in the Dark:
Capturing the Fourth Week of the
Spiritual Exercises (an online experience)
Begins June 14th!
What is it?
Join us for this three-week retreat series that will offer an opportunity to enter into a contemplative experience through the medium of films. These movies will help us explore the themes of God's constant compassionate mercy and deep love for us. God's love for us remains despite our humanity and even more so when we have not experienced love or feel we have failed.
The Fourth Week of the Spiritual Exercises invites us to share in the joy of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Attuning more closely to the creative presence of God in our world can give us a personal language for listening to God. God is never silent in the world, but manifests in every one of us, no matter who or what or where we are. Ignatius would go even further and say that God uses everything to communicate with us. . From Finding God in the Dark II by John Pungente, SJ & Monty Williams, SJ.
