Fill My Cup, Lord
In this reflective retreat for women we look at a cup as a
symbol of our lives and our spiritual journey – lives that are ordinary,
spiritually thirsty at times, both empty and full, sometimes wounded or
“chipped,” with the contents of our lives often given and shared in generous
gestures of compassion. This retreat is flexible in how it is presented – it
can be offered in one day or as a weekend retreat. Also appropriate as an
Advent or Lent retreat. Session 1: Introductory Comments Session 2: The Cup of Life; The
Boundaries of the Cup Session 3: The Open Cup; The Cluttered
Cup; Readiness to Receive: Fill My Cup, Lord Session 4: The Perfect Cup; The Cup of
Blessing - The Cup Brimming Over I
