Does your spiritual life need a reset? Is Lent your 40-day version of the movie Groundhog Day? Do you give up the same thing every year? Is every day bland and meaningless? Are you just waiting for Lent to be over?

In Looking Forward to Easter we will use Chapter 49: The Observance of Lent from the Rule of St. Benedict as a guide for self-reflection. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we will examine our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states to determine what should be washed away, what should be added, and what should be offered as we “look forward to holy Easter with joy and spiritual longing.”

This retreat will be a combination of group guided reflections and significant time for personal pondering and prayer.
