SUMMARY:Obstacles to Discernment: Achieving Clarity Through the Gift of Reason
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN – Are you ready to make more confident and informed decisions\, to learn a framework that you can apply to any challenge? Do you want to overcome confusion\, indecision\, overwhelm\, worry\, and hesitancy? “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God\, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2) \n\n\n\nIn this interactive and reflective workshop\, you will be led through The Reason Cycle. It is a meta-skill that can be applied to any problem. By learning this critical thinking skill through self-reflection\, repentance and meditative prayer\, you will grow in self-awareness\, grit\, and effective decision-making. You will be taught how to identify and set clear goals\, how your thoughts and emotions can be an obstacle to discernment\, how to start responding and stop reacting\, how to manage your mind and grow in emotional resilience\, and how to apply practical daily exercises to grow in virtue using the Metanoia Catholic Journal and Scripture. Come\, bring a friend\, and grow in perseverance with other women of faith who desire interior peace and freedom to make life-giving choices. \n\n\n\nPlease see flyer for information on registering for this retreat. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by:  Veronica Ljubicic \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Veronica-May3\,2025Download

SUMMARY:Praying with the Wisdom Tradition of the Old Testament. 
DESCRIPTION:MEN IGNATIAN RETREAT –  Although many believers are not attracted to the Old Testament since God is often portrayed as a warrior God; nevertheless\, the Old Testament is made up of  different genres whereof one is the Sapiential Books\, aka\,  the Books of Wisdom: Proverbs\, Psalms\, Job\, Song of Songs\, Ecclesiastes\, Book of Wisdom\, Wisdom of Sirach\, and to some extent Baruch. \n\n\n\nThese wisdom books grant us much guidance for simple everyday living as a Christian in our contemporary world. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Fr.

SUMMARY:Election Day of Reflection. Political Discernment Rooted in Contemplative Disposition
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR MEN & WOMEN – Manresa Retreat Centre’s April 2025 Day of Reflection takes place on the day of the much anticipated and talked about Canada Federal Election – April 28th. This is an election campaign that is considered one of the most consequential of our lifetimes as Canadians\, particularly in light of our relationship with our southern neighbour\, cost of living concerns\, and potential job losses. It is understandable if we desire to retreat from the intensity of these political concerns. \n\n\n\nWe can also take a time of retreat to better deepen our political discernment within the environment of prayer\, spiritual insight\, and deeper appreciate of Catholic Social Teaching. Our Election Day of Reflection can be seen as an opportunity for us to reflect and discern upon the essential relationship between a contemplative disposition – rooted in Gospel values – and political action in light of Ignatian insight and wisdom. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Fr. Trevor Scott\, SJ \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-April28\,2025Fr.TrevorDownload

SUMMARY:Openness to Christ’ words: A Path of encounter and conversion.
DESCRIPTION:MEN & WOMEN IGNATIAN – Jesus’ encounter with the sick\, the Pharisees\, sinners\, and all other sorts of people is critical for the process of personal conversion and transformation. The disciples who followed the Messiah had encountered him and were transformed by his words and his deeds. They were able to respond to the call: “come\, follow me” (Matt. 4:19)\, because they first met him and opened their hearts to receive his words. Saint Paul had the same experience on the road to Damascus when the Risen Christ asked him: “Saul\, Saul\, why do you persecute me?” (Acts 9:4). \n\n\n\nDuring this retreat\, we will focus on the Ignatian method of contemplation that suggests the use of our senses (SE 106)\, to contemplate together some of the significant moments of Jesus’ encounter with His audience and the healing and transformative process that followed as a result of these encounters. Fundamental to this\, is the role of the Holy Spirit that allows people to open their hearts to the Divine Grace which transforms\, restores and re-creates. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Fr. Jean-Francky Guerrier\, SJ \n\n\n\nFlyer-Apr.25-27\,2025-M&W-FranckyDownload

SUMMARY:The Wisdom of Henri Nouwen.
DESCRIPTION:MEN IGNATIAN RETREAT – Henri Nouwen was a Dutch-born Catholic priest\, a professor\, and a psychologist\, as well as a spiritual guide and writer. He wrote with great openness about faith\, spiritual development\, prayer\, and other aspects of our journeys with God. One of his greatest gifts was his ability to help people connect with their vulnerabilities in order to grow in trust and intimacy.   \n\n\n\nThis Lenten retreat will consider this and other common themes in Nouwen’s writing\, such as being the beloved of God\, giving and receiving forgiveness\, growing in hope\, and accepting one’s limitations. The focus will be on providing concrete ways to incorporate these ideas into our prayer lives. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Fr. Kevin Kelly\, SJ \n\n\n\n\n\nFlyer-Mar.14-16\,2025K.KellyDownload

SUMMARY:Who You Are is How you Relate and Pray: Discover and Embrace the Gifts of your Temperament
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN – Ever wonder why you think\, feel\, act\, and react the way you do? “Within the Catholic tradition\, temperament is defined as the pattern of inclinations and reactions that proceed from the physiological constitution of the individual.” (Aumann\, Spiritual Theology) We all have a nature that comes with some innate habits of thinking\, feeling\, speaking\, and behaving. This is defined by our temperaments; there are four: Choleric\, Sanguine\, Melancholic\, and Phlegmatic. Understanding your temperament can help you communicate and connect better\, improve your health and prayer life\, and allow you to show up as your best self by creating the conditions you need to thrive.    \n\n\n\nJoin us for this interactive and reflective workshop\, where you will learn the basics about temperaments\, gain insights on your primary and secondary temperament\, plus common contributions\, weaknesses\, triggers\, ideal conditions\, and motivators of each temperament\, and create a plan to make space for and claim your natural God-given gifts so you can aim them towards your greatest fulfillment and potential. To participate fully and get the most out of this experience\, please take this free temperaments quiz: https://www.temperamentquiz.com and bring the results to the day of retreat. Step away from the hustle of daily life\, be inspired\, nourished and encouraged\, and connect with other women of faith as you reflect on who you are and your unique design.   \n\n\n\nPlease see flyer for information on registering for this retreat. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Veronica Ljubicic \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Veronica-Mar.8\,2025(2)Download

SUMMARY:“Stepping into the Dark:  Embracing God's Gifts in a Winter Season." 
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR MEN & WOMEN – In winter\, there is a temptation for many of us to hide away until it is over! Yet\, winter invites us into a special time and place with God. The season holds many gifts for us. Through the bare trees we catch glimpses of all we may otherwise not see!  \n\n\n\nIn a season of darkness we are called\, as many of the Mystics point out\, to embrace a mature faith through which we can peacefully hold our questions with trust in God. \n\n\n\nThis call\, says spiritual writer\, Christine Valtners Paintner\, invites us to again “listen closely to the wild silence shimmering through the darkness and see what new things we hear when we release our need to have everything figured out\, including God.”  \n\n\n\nAll welcome to journey together on this day engaging Divine Mystery\, radical humility and the continuing search for what really matters in our lives. \n\n\n\n Facilitated by Sr. Mary Rowell\, csj \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Jan.27\,2025-Sr.MaryRDownload

SUMMARY:Praying with Suffering.
DESCRIPTION:MEN IGNATIAN –   Suffering is something every human will have to encounter along their life journey. Some will carry big crosses and some small. Sometimes we are the ones who endure it and sometimes we knowingly or unknowingly will bring suffering to others. Suffering is meaningless\, even inhumane by itself\, but when we let the light of God shine upon it\, everything changes. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Fr.
