Join us live on YouTube each Saturday at 11am to reflect on a thought-provoking topic with a member of our monastic community.
The Home Retreats help you start the new week feeling grounded and more perceptive. You can enjoy the retreat whilst in the comfort of your home and on playback at a later date.
'Lights Will Guide You Home' by Fr Kevin
Saturday 3rd December at 11am
The magi were led by a star to the crib at Bethlehem. In this Home Retreat, Fr Kevin will discuss what are the lights He sends us to guide us and bring us home?
'Advent: A Radiant Darkness' by Fr Philip
Saturday 10th December at 11am
As mid-winter approaches, our awareness of – and appreciation for – light hopefully increases. And yet, the dark ‘texture’ of Advent is an essential element of this season’s richness: challenging us to be patient and wait - in God’s time - for his gifts: the greatest of them all being his own Incarnate Son.
'...my mind's wandering again. Where was I?' by Fr Bede
Saturday 17th December at 11am
This is a continued Home Retreat from the 8th October, with the finish of the story "the Half Crown" and its last half sentence "she prayed with all her might that he'd come back". This leads us into a piece of art for late Advent 2022. If you missed the first part, it is available to watch on YouTube, and part one of the story will be uploaded here a few days beforehand for you to read.
‘Bringing new life into the world’ by Fr Richard
Saturday 24th December at 11am
In this retreat, Fr Richard explores what does Christmas mean when less than 50% of people in the UK now count themselves as Christian?
Each Home Retreat consists of a 10-20 minute reflection and concludes with a series of suggestions for activities and further reflection throughout the day.
