As we journey in the spiritual life, we encounter disconcerting challenges that often upend us and discourage us. In this retreat, award-winning author Fr. Albert Haase OFM will focus on some of the typical challenges we face: living in the present moment, forgiving others, spiritual darkness, attitudes for discerning God's will, and resisting God's will. This retreat will remind and encourage us with the good news that God's grace is always available to us despite the challenges and obstacles we face.
The content portion of this retreat concludes on Sunday, August 25, but guests are invited to stay in the retreat center until Monday, August 26.
