“The Way of the Cross”: Retreat

$120.00

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus asks his disciples, “Who Do You Say That I Am?” and they offer a variety of answers (Mt. 16: 15).  However, it is in the Gospel of John that Jesus provides his own answers to this question in the seven “I am” statements that frame significant chapters in both the “’Book of Signs” and in the “Book of Glory.”  During this retreat, we will be invited to accompany Jesus as he uncovers and then reveals his own self-understanding and, through this process of exploration, to understand, perhaps more clearly, who God is and who we are.  This retreat will be in person or on ZOOM from 10:00 to 11:30 AM each day.  There will also be a reflection sheet to guide you throughout the day as you reflect on how ponder the “I am” statements and the “I am” statement you would give Jesus.

March 14 to 17, 2025   Four Sessions:  Friday at 3, Saturday at 10 and 3 and Sunday at 10.  There are no overnight accommodations.
In Person or on ZOOM  Cost:  $120
