A Day of Reflection for Men & Women
Retreat Master: Fr. Dan Hartnett, SJ
Retreat Title: Day of Prayer in Spanish: La Humilidad de Dios
Puede sonar extraño hablar de la “humildad” de Dios. Si nos fijamos en la imagen de Dios que ha sido revelado en la persona de Jesús, vemos efectivamente que Dios es, antes que nada, humilde, cercano y sencillo. Durante este día de oración, trataremos de purificar nuestras imágenes de Dios, concentrándonos tanto en la belleza de la creación como en el misterio de la encarnación. Si llegamos a conocer el rostro humilde de nuestro Dios, nos quedará más claro cómo hemos de ser imagen de Dios y cómo ser discípulo de Jesús.
Favor de registrarse de antemano. Es necesario para que haya comida suficiente en el almuerzo y para cumplir con las normas de distanciamiento social. Gracias!
Program Cost: There is no cost for this retreat; free will donations accepted. Se aceptan donaciones. (includes Lunch)
