Our popular Home Retreats continue as the community provide reflective and insightful discussions every Saturday at 11.00.
Home Retreats can be watched on our YouTube channel or listened to on our podcast.
See below which monks are taking part this month and what topics will be explored:
‘The Central Problem of Hate’ by Fr Christopher
Saturday 1st February
The longer we live in this world, we’re forced to ask the question, ‘What makes so many people so mean? What creates mean-spirited people’? What is behind that hate and what I just called mean-spiritedness?’ Maybe that’s really what we see more often than overt hatred.
'OF ASHES AND EMBERS: REKINDLING THE FIRE OF FAITH' by Fr Phillip
Saturday 8th February
How might we invigorate our sometimes detached assent to the faith we profess? Without expecting some kind of unrealistic quick-fix, surely a quest for inspiration in the great Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah would be a good place to seek new fire and fervour. With Lent and Passiontide not so far off, we have a rich seam to explore.
'The Message of Lourdes and the Jubilee' by Fr Oswald
Saturday 15th February
Fr Cedd
Saturday 22nd February
