SJCCC Member eNews: 8-days Spiritual Excercise Retreat

親愛的主內弟兄姊妹:
避靜是一個駐足，聆聽，觀察與尋找的時刻。在神聖的當下，重建我們與天主的關係。避靜給予我們尋找天主與自我的機會。它給我們足夠的空間碰觸內心深處的渴望，與天主交談。避靜就是與天主一齊渡假！
Retreat is a time to Stop, Listen, Watch, and Search. It is a sacred moment to rebuild our relationship with God. Retreat gives us a chance to find who God is and who we are. It gives space to allow us to touch our deepest desires and allow God to talk to us. Retreat is to have a vacation with God!
