At
times each of us experiences disappointment and discouragement in life: plans
go awry; a relationship is broken; work becomes stressful; life itself seems
meaningless. At these times, we become more deeply aware of the many dark
areas of our lives where we need healing. This retreat focuses on the healing strength that Jesus desires for us and the invitation to become people of hope in a world filled with darkness and despair. “Jesus loves us where we are but loves us too much to leave us there.” As followers of Jesus, our challenge always is to allow Jesus to heal our darkness. Jesus’ good news is that His death has conquered the darkness; His resurrection gives us light, healing and hope. “Your Faith Has Healed You” |
CENTERING PRAYER AND LECTIO DIVINA
Presented by: Kings House Preaching Team
Make Me An Instrument of Your Peace
The Prayer of St. Francis was
discovered right before the First World War and became a powerful prayer for
peace. As we live in a post 9/11 world permeated by panic, polarization, and
Prozac, the quest for inner peace becomes all the more a hunger for many.
This healing retreat helps us experience the Prayer of St. Francis to heal
our wounds and transform us into peacemakers.
Lord, make me an instrument
of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is
injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine
Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to
be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving
that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying
that we are born again to eternal life.

Jesus Conquers Fear
Our fears can seem overwhelming and at times all consuming. They might not even make logical sense yet they are real. Fears are able to paralyze and they can prevent us from embracing a bright future
Jesus often tells the disciples, “Do not be afraid.” He understands well how deeply fears can trouble our hearts.

Hope Retreat Day - Finding a Reason to Hope
Presented by: Fr. Lon Konold, OMI and Sr. Brenda Rose Szegedy, OSF
Change is the essence of life, and I am the learner. Loss interrupts the flow of my life… the death of a loved one, illness, life-changing disappointment such as economic change or job loss, rejection by a person or institution that means a great deal to me. How do I hope in the midst of life’s changes? What is God asking of me?
The day will include conferences, time for quiet reflection, optional sharing, opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Eucharist.

DIRECTED RETREAT
Presented by:
Sr. Joanne Dehmer, SSND
Fr. Lon Konold, OMI
Fr. Gari Ruthenberg, OMI
Fr. Lou Studer, OMI
Sr. Brenda Rose Szegedy, OSF
King’s House will again offer a 6-day directed retreat. Each day, besides the celebration of the Eucharist, the retreatant meets with a director to talk about his or her personal journey and experience of God. The rest of the time is spent in solitude and silence relaxing, praying, reading and reflecting. In the extended time of quiet, one often moves into a deeper listening to God and awareness of God’s presence and action in life. The experience can clarify your dreams, purify your ambitions, expose your foolishness and refresh your life.
A directed retreat enables people to spend uninterrupted hours exploring the movement of God in their lives. The spiritual directors are companions, helping retreatants enter into this spiritual journey and listen to their hearts with new openness to God’s will. It calls for receptivity to the movements of God and God’s Spirit, and the capacity and willingness to discuss one’s prayer with the director. The director gives guidance for prayer in response to your individual needs, making suggestions from scripture or other resources that may be helpful.
Closer to the retreat, applicants will be sent a questionnaire and response form to gather information for making the decision about your director.

HEALING RETREAT
Presented by: Fr. Matt Linn, SJ
How to Deal with a Prickly Porcupine:
Each of us often rubs shoulders with a porcupine, a difficult person we wish lived in Antarctica: the pessimist who believes every silver lining has a cloud, the passive aggressive (the dog who licks your hand before biting it), the depressive who depresses us and the others that we thank God we are not married to. We will explore the 2 hands that heal us: the right hand that sets boundaries so we can care for ourselves and find inner peace and the left hand that reaches out to create peace without becoming another prickly porcupine that blames or tries to fix another.

Life in Christ
Presented by: Fr. James Livingston
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
This “Life in Christ” retreat is for those who want to live in Christ in a more dynamic and authentic way. God offers us a covenant of new life in his Spirit through faith. Jesus came from God as the minister of that covenant. God invites us to the fullness of life in Christ through faith. The purpose of this retreat is to open our hearts to the life of Christ within us through faith, and to prepare us to live fully in the power and love of his Spirit.
“I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).

Suggested Offering: $155.00 per person.
Serenity Retreat (12 Step Retreat)
Presented by: Fr. Gari Ruthenberg, OMI
A Life of Serenity
This retreat will focus not only on the effects of addiction on the individual addict, but also the effect it has on the family system (i.e. spouses, children, parents, and significant others).
We will look at the roots of addiction and the perceived needs the addiction is trying to meet, albeit in a negative manner. We will look at the necessary spiritual journey that one must embark on beginning with the twelve steps of AA and what methods of prayer and meditation one might find useful on the journey toward wellness, wholeness and holiness.
