Participate in a full Ignatian retreat&;wherever and whenever you want!
Mention the word &;retreat&; and most people conjure up images of withdrawing from daily life, perhaps by traveling to a retreat house where a spiritual director awaits. But what if you didn&;t have to go to a retreat to experience its many benefits? What if the retreat came to you?
Retreat in the Real World offers the unique opportunity to make an in-depth, self-directed Ignatian retreat on your own time. This 34-week retreat can be started at any point in the calendar year and can be experienced anywhere that works for you. You can experience the retreat by yourself or in conjunction with others.
Each of the 34 weeks includes background information, a simple reflection, prayer-helps, Scripture readings, and photography by Don Doll, SJ. Every week is different in the graces asked for and the material reflected upon, yet each week builds upon the weeks before it.
This highly practical print version of the formerly digital-only retreat from Creighton University&;s Online Ministries will prove extremely fruitful for anyone who wants to know, love, and follow Jesus more closely.
