- Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB
For forty days before commencing His public ministry, Jesus retreated into the desert, fasting and living a life of absolute simplicity. In imitation of this example, the forty days of Lent should be for Christians a time of consciously uncluttering our lives and heart, and freeing ourselves from all the extraneous baggage and complexities which hold us back from the freedom and simplicity to which God is calling us. This weekend retreat will prepare participants for a fruitful and effective Lenten experience.
The first session for all Institute Weekends begins at 7:30pm on the Friday (participants are encouraged to attend Vespers at 6:30pm, followed by dinner, if possible). The final session each weekend will conclude at 11:30am on the Sunday, followed by lunch.
