Theme for August 2009 to July 2010 - Hosted by the King’s House Preaching Team.

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.

Jesus wants to help unburden our fears of self, others and even of God and instead fill our hearts with trust and hope in God who is our refuge and our strength.

 

 


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.

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.

Advent Retreat

Presented by:  Fr. Joe Nassal, C.PP.S.

The Recovery of Hope

The recovery of hope can only be accomplished when we have the courage to stop and wait and engage fully in the winter of our dark longing.   Gertrud Mueller-Nelson  
Advent is the Church’s season to recover hope. During this weekend retreat, we will explore where do we look for hope these days? What does hope look like? What are some images, metaphors, or stories that stir hope in us? How do we seek to nurture hope in one another as we journey in faith?

How do we keep hope alive in difficult, dangerous, and dreary times?   Father Joe Nassal is the author of eight books including The Conspiracy of Compassion, Rest Stops for the Soul, Premeditated Mercy,Moments of Truth, and Stations of the Crib. A Missionary of the Precious Blood, he has been engaged in retreat, renewal and reconciliation ministry since 1988. In 2002, he was involved in establishing the Precious Blood Center for Reconciliation on the south side of Chicago. In September 2009, he moved to Berkeley, California to be part of a new ministry of renewal and reconciliation for his community. Ordained in 1982, he presently serves on the leadership team of the Kansas City Province.

What is your Spirituality

Presented by:   Fr. Harry Winter, O.M.I., Ph.D.

You get your life from the way you think and worship.  This is spirituality.  Christians today are in a unique situation.  Within the Roman Catholic Church today and every Christian Church, there are five ways of living Christian lives: Catholic, fundamentalist, liberal, charismatic/evangelical and Vatican II/reformed.

Do you want help to heal yourself, your parish, and your nation?  During this retreat you will be helped to identify your predominant way, the way repugnant to you and a way you are sympathetic to (but do not feel 100% comfortable).

Life in the Spirit

Presented by: Fr. James Livingston   

“Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.’  By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive” (John 7:37-39).  

This “Give us the Spirit!” retreat is intended for those with a spiritual thirst, who want to believe in and come to Jesus in a more dynamic way.  As Catholics we believe in the presence of Jesus in his living Word, in the spiritual life of prayer, in the visible sacramental and hierarchical Church and in the gathering of two or more in his name.  The purpose of this retreat is to deepen our faith and to open our hearts to the presence of Jesus, so as to drink deeply of his Spirit and receive.  

“If you who are wicked know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the holy Spirit to those who ask?”  (Luke 11:13).  

Fr. Jim Livingston is a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.  Since his ordination in 1990 he has served in parish and health care settings and has been involved in a variety of apostolic initiatives.  He is a frequent speaker at seminars, retreats and parish missions focusing on healing and spiritual renewal, and often presides at prayer services and masses for physical and inner healing.
