Retreats are an opportunity to step back from the busyness and noise of everyday life in order to be renewed in prayer by encountering Jesus Christ. Without the distractions of daily life, we are given the chance to grow in our ability to listen to the Lord's voice in our life and in our hearts. Retreats are often opportunities to greater understand our identity as sons and daughters of God and to discern his will for our lives.
“He said to them, ‘Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’“ (Mark 6:31)
