Explore the three commonly used scriptural prayers in the prayers of the church that can be sources of hope as they point to God’s faithfulness even in the midst of difficulties. Fr. Huemmer will lead conferences on the Magnificat (the Prayer of Mary at her pregnancy), the Benedictus (the Canticle of Zechariah in praise) and the Nunc Dimittis (the Canticle of Simeon at the arrival of the messiah).
In the midst of the winter, these gospel canticles can give us hope as we journey become ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ during the Jubilee Year of 2025.
This retreat begins with Morning Prayer and ends with Adoration, Daytime Prayer and Benediction. In between, guests will enjoy two conferences. Mass, lunch and time for personal reflection will round out the day.
