View this post on Instagram Are you joining us for our Spiritual Exercises Retreat for Women this weekend, June 5-7, 2020? Wondering how to prepare? First, understand that that the Spiritual Exercises have three main goals: 1. To know ourselves in God’s eyes. 2. To know the person of Jesus Christ. 3. To imitate the person of Jesus Christ. Every element of our retreat therefore is designed to help you accomplish these aims in a harmonious way. There is nothing superfluous during the weekend! So here's some things to note as you prepare: ▸It's important to be well rested during the retreat to have the ability needed to focus and pray well. ▸Don't skip the readings during meals! These can be the most life-changing moments of the entire retreat! ▸Remember that the success of the retreat does not depend on our feelings, but the degree that we allow Jesus Christ into our soul and to move our will to help us to change our lives. ▸The main qualities required for a good retreat are humility, sincerity and generosity. Humility, to be well disposed to approach God; sincerity, to be open to what God is asking of you; and generosity to respond, as Mary did,: “Let it be done to me according to your word.” Know of our prayers for you as you prepare for the retreat! Registration for this weekend's retreat is still open if you'd like to join us! Link in bio! A post shared by Our Lady of Bethesda (@olbretreats) on Jun 4, 2020 at 6:01am PDT
