WORD & SILENCE
MINI-RETREAT WITH FR. JEREMIAH SHRYOCK, CFR
Solitude of the Heart
No cost to attend. Free-will offerings accepted.
The human heart is where each person stands alone before God in truth as they really are. Ultimately we must go into this solitude of our own hearts where we are alone with God, where we don't ignore the external realities or the people of our life, but we choose to approach them and see them from a much deeper and fuller perspective that only this solitude of the heart can bring.
It is here where deep prayer, true love, and Godly service are born, and it is here where we experience most deeply the transforming power of the Gospels.
