This retreat is for those who have already encountered Christ or who know they long to encounter Christ, but are often very aware how far they are from having a “holy life.” Or even just a “put together” life. It’s for those who all too often encounter halfheartedness and discouragement in their lives, but desire to go beyond.
The Mystical Doctor, St John of the Cross, was a man who experienced hardship, setbacks, and straight up persecution in his life. Yet in the midst of these completely un-ideal situations, confronted constantly with his own weakness, instead of despairing he was drawn into profound intimacy with Christ. And he wrote about it in a way that allows others to discover that intimacy.
Come and discover in a new way or all over again who Christ wants to be for you. Discover how everyday apparent mediocrity is precisely the golden privileged path to the heights of Transforming Union with Christ.

* To keep registration fees low, overnight lodging is not included/required, with the assumption that most participants will be coming from their dorms at UC and NKY, and/or are within driving distance.

If this option is not yet obviously available in the registration options, please reach out to Paco Patag at [email protected]!
