Ignatian Leadership for Mission: Rooted in the Graces of the Exercises - Wernersville, PA
This five day silent retreat is open to lay and Jesuit colleagues affiliated with the ministries (universities, schools, parishes, retreat houses, etc.) of the Maryland, New England and New York Jesuit Provinces.
This retreat, focusing on the following graces, is a communal experience designed to help prepare Ignatian ministers for the continuing renewal of our apostolates in service to the world.
Gratitude
To understand and to rejoice gratefully in who we are and who we are called to become – by God’s gracious and loving desire and design.
Healing
Grateful joy in the realization of God’s unfailingly steadfast and forgiving love – revealed in Christ crucified, before whom Ignatius asks, “What have I done? What am I doing? What shall I do?”
Call
The enthusiastic desire and determination to join God and Christ in overcoming the powers of darkness – so that the light of truth and love, justice and peace might shine in our world.
Co-laboring
To live and labor lovingly as the hands and feet, heads and hearts of the risen Lord living and laboring in us, his Ignatian companions, lay and Jesuit, on mission together.
