Why Such an Interest in Retreats Today
Holy Week will be in April. Before this date, we should take one step back, in order to take five steps forward. It is a good idea for families to have a retreat so as to withdraw briefly from similar surroundings and distractions in order to gain ground in our relationship with God.
A retreat is: a break from routine; fun; relational; active; affirming; surprising; and a step in a spiritual journey. Spiritual maturity requires one to stand back, evaluate and then move forward into new depths of faith. This is a step in the conversion.
A retreat is not: an escape from reality; meaningless fun; isolating; passive; manipulative; boring; and vacation. Frequent retreat goers return feeling good and spiritually revitalized.
