Retreat with Fr. Ron Rolheiser, omi
Over
the past few years Oblate Media and Communications have released several
presentations - using a DVD format - given by Ron Rolheiser, renowned
author, teacher and theologian. The topics of these presentations are
engaging, and seem to “speak” to participants of any age.
Due to the amount of information contained in each presentation, these DVD’s are frequently paused, to allow participants the opportunity to reflect on the material presented, respond to questions that invite them to reflect on how this material relates to their own lives, and engage in small group discussion. Each participant is given a detailed handout that summarizes the content of the presentation.
Ronald Rolheiser, a Roman Catholic
priest and member of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI),
is president of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas.
He is a community-builder, lecturer and writer. His books are popular
throughout the English-speaking world and his weekly column is carried
by more than sixty newspapers worldwide. Living A Life Without Resentment An Ecumenical Lenten Retreat Queen's House Retreat and Renewal Centre, Saskatoon Saturday March 12, 2016 9:30am - 3:30pm Cost: $55 - includes lunch; $45 - bring your own lunch To register please call 306-242-1916 or email receptionist@queenshouse.org
Are you searching for a deeper way to appreciate and enter into this season of Lent? Are you open to new insights into the symbols and traditions we hold so dear? This compelling retreat invites participants to reflect on a symbol we see so often in our daily lives, and yet do not – and cannot - fully understand. The cross has become the ultimate symbol of love in the world. It is central to Christianity in that we are to forgive our enemies. As such, it is the single most revolutionary moral event that has happened on this planet. And, like all deep things in life, the Cross is largely a mystery. The Cross reveals God's unconditional love and vulnerability and invites us to discipleship. The Cross calls us beyond ourselves, our own agenda, and invites us to live our own life without resentment. Past participants have found this retreat to be extremely powerful, thought-provoking, and for some, life-changing.
This retreat is offered in two parts, each session lasting 2 hours. The DVD is paused throughout the presentation to give participants the opportunity to reflect on the presentation, answer prepared questions and share their responses with others in small group discussions.
While this retreat is usually requested during the season of Lent it is suitable for any time of the year. This presentation is the first part of a two part retreat; the second part is entitled Exploring A Non-Violent God (The Passion of Christ), which will be offered at Queen's House on Saturday March 19, 2016, 9:30am - 3:30pm. |
