Living elderhood: Prayer, love and service

Living Elderhood: Prayer, Love and Service, Aug. 21 – 23, retreat at St. Benedict Center, Schuyler, with Stephen Fogle, PhD. “I think, you know, friend, that when one needs to jump, it’s so much safer to jump into deep water” (Father Leopold in Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene). Aging comes with physical, psychological, and social changes. In conjunction with this, our prayer, our relationship with God and our images of God develop and grow. 

Our sense of interconnectedness with family and friends, local communities, and our global home evolves, and we feel drawn to service in new ways. With talks on living elderhood as a shared point of departure, retreatants are invited to encounter themselves and other older adults through small group conversations guided by the Holy Spirit. Retreatants have time and space for personal reflection and informal story sharing. Friday, 7:30 p.m. to Sunday after lunch. Register now HERE or call (402) 352-8819
