Home Retreats in March

Ampleforth Abbey

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 language of God’s heart.' by Fr Ambrose

Saturday 2nd March

God’s language is the language of his heart and hidden from us unless we come to know him from within.

 

'Padre Pio, man of prayer and stigmatic' by Fr Henry

Saturday 9th March

Fr Henry will consider Padre Pio, the Italian Franciscan, who died in 1968. Was he a fraud? Were the stigmata genuine? Did he really bilocate? What does his life tell us about prayer?

 

Apologies, there will be no Home Retreat on Saturday 16th March.

 

'ARE YOU IN THE RIGHT POSITION?' by Fr Abbot

Saturday 23rd March

Often, we can fall back to things that are familiar, just because we are used to doing them or reacting in certain ways. The invitation of the Gospel is to stop, look and evaluate, am I in the right position to make this wisest choice or respond to this situation in the most appropriate manner. If we are not in the place, where God desires us to be, we can end up making bad choices for the wrong reason.
