“Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart.” Joel 2:12

God desires your heart. Pray this Lent with prayer exercises that will help dispose you to turn to the Lord with your whole heart. Give yourself the gift of daily encountering the Lord through prayer. The discipline of daily prayer works over time to open the eyes and ears of our hearts to the activity of God in our prayer and in our lives. This group prayer retreat is composed of exercises from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola and facilitated by trained Ignatian prayer guides.

This retreat consists of seven weeks of prayer exercises. We will meet eight times and skip the week of Spring Break, so it will span nine weeks of time, from Tuesday, February 25 to Tuesday, April 21.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Each week, Scripture readings will be provided for daily prayer along with presentations on Ignatian prayer topics as helps for your prayer experience.

• Thirty to forty-five minutes of daily prayer along with jotting some notes about your prayer experience.

• Meet weekly as a group to share prayer experiences to the extent they are comfortable, facilitated by a sensitive prayer guide.

• Each week an Ignatian topic will be presented to help you in your Lenten journey.
