Saturday 13th - Sunday 14th March
Patient Persistent Practice
with Fr Christopher Gorst OSB
These words are part of a Chinese proverb, which could relate seamlessly with Monastic Stability and Christian Disciplines. In our present situation of chaos, uncertainty and Covid 19 Pandemic, we need grounded, mature and faithful people to practice ‘sitting in the fire’ or in the whirlwind, able to listen to the still small voice of God. We can look at Patience, Persistence (or Perseverance) and three forms of Practice (Meditation/Tai Chi/Lectio Divina) which can help us be a calming, still centre amid apparent confusion.
This retreat begins at 8:45 am on Saturday and ends at 1pm Sunday
