Lay Carmelite Silent Retreat

Fr. Nicolas Blackwell, O.Carm. will offer a talk based on what St. John of the Cross offered to a group of sisters to help them understand consecrated life. As we hear the words of St. John of the Cross, in this retreat, we will receive his wonderful principles and insights for someone seeking to live life for the Spirit. This is particularly valuable for those following or hoping to follow the Carmelite charism. Even though we live in the world, and not in a convent, this wisdom can lead us closer to Christ, and guide us in relationships with family and friends. Fr. Nicolas will focus on St. John’s guidance on how to cultivate communal life and relationship. Come and be inspired!
