A Retreat is often defined as a set time spent away from one's normal life for the purpose of reconnecting, usually in prayer, with God. Mark 6:31 31 And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” Quiet and solitude enables us to let God reach out to us. Step away from the troubles, concerns and distractions of this world. Come alone or come with like minded individuals. Put down your phones, avoid the internet and all media. Get out your Bible or just be in the presence of our Creator. This is the essence of Il Ritiro Franciscan Retreat Center; It is a place where God calls us to be together with Him. Let us help you get away and reconnect. |
