Jesuit
Retreat House
Lenten Retreat 2009
an online series of prayers and
reflections
Week of February 16 - Week of April 13
A retreat is a special time to be with the Lord in quiet and
solitude and to say: "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening." This
Lenten Retreat will provide reflections from the Lenten liturgies
and the Spiritual
Exercises of St. Ignatius, a "School
of Prayer" that encourages many ways of praying.

Some readings from the Lenten liturgies will be included
in this retreat, so you will need a Bible. Take your time and
prayerfully make the retreat one
week at a time, one day at a time. Slow
and steady should be the way of proceeding in order to get the most out of the
retreat experience.
Lent is a special time to be with the Lord through
prayer, so I hope you will consider taking part in our Lenten Retreat.
