We know intuitively that we feel better when we take a break from the hurly-burly, screen-focused noisy lives we live. Scripture, science and experience tell us that we all should cultivate silence in our lives. If we know this, why do we resist it? Why is it so hard to find quiet? Be still before the LORD; wait for him. — Psalm 37:7If you want “to learn to better wait in silence,” a silent, directed retreat with Precious Blood Renewal Center might be what you’re looking for. A silent, directed retreat is a personally guided prayer experience over three days. Each retreatant meets with a spiritual director daily for reflection and spiritual discernment. All people making the retreat begin with a communal prayer experience and then individuals meet one-on-one with our trained, experienced retreat directors. The group meetings and prayers are a hybrid experience, with some retreatants in person and others joining by Zoom. The individual meetings too can be conducted in person or via Zoom. What's the Cost? We are asking for $10 to reserve your spot on the retreat. Our suggested donation for the three-day directed retreat is $90, but no one will be turned away.
