Leaving the quiet, contemplative space of the retreat center and going back to the demands of everyday life can be a challenge. But it is possible to keep returning to that quiet space within you, the place where you can hear God and your own spirit more clearly. Here are some steps that we find to be helpful:
- Slow down the pace
- Seek silence and solitude
- Appreciate the present moment
- Create sacred space
- Pray and meditate
- Be open to the movement of the Spirit
- Gather companions for the journey
- Rest, relax and reflect
- Explore the wonders of creation
- Enjoy the journey!
Some have found that rooting themselves deeper in scripture has a profound impact on their lives. We suggest a good place to start with this prayerful reflection is our own daily scripture reflection by the Passionists of Holy Cross Province. The scriptures follow the liturgical cycle and the reflections change daily. Simply click the link below entitled "Daily Scripture".
