The invitation of Lent is to retreat to this inner room, the sanctuary of one's soul where one's core truth is held. As we explore this sacred space within, we come home to the truth of who we are as children of God, as God's beloved. This day of prayer offers us an opportunity to strip away the masks and false identities and come home to the truth.

Holy Week brings us to the intersection of death and life. During this retreat, which concludes on Palm Sunday, we will prepare for Holy Week by exploring themes of life and death, belonging and betrayal, truth and deceit, and hospitality and humility.

The Day of Prayer will take its inspiration from a film of remarkable stories illustrating the impact of Pope Francis' first five years as Pope. In Pope Francis, we have a courageous and prophetic leader who is concerned about the environment, about world peace, mercy, compassion and love. We have a Gospel-inspired shepherd who has a deep passion, care and concern for the poor and for millions of displaced peoples roaming the face of this earth.

Novice gardeners, weathered professionals, all who hear the call: come to the quiet grounds of the Retreat Center to reflect and grow! Through Scripture, poetry, song and reflection, we will walk the garden path to deeper relationship with God. How does God turn the soil of your soul and plant seeds of self-knowledge and enlightenment? How do the moments of gardening - digging, sowing, weeding, transplanting, weeding(!), relishing the fruits of labor - call you into surprising kinship with the Earth and her creatures?

Pope Francis in his usual inspiring, insightful and utterly practical way insists that each person is called by God to follow his or her own unique path to holiness according to the gifts that God has given. Calling the Beatitudes the Christian's "Identity Card," he says they can help us discern the Holy Spirit's movement and guidance in the depths of our heart. he makes us aware of the serious obstacles to holiness and how we need to address these. While holiness requires silence, solitude and constant prayer, it also sends us out in loving compassion and mercy to minister to poverty and injustice in our world.

A mosquito buzzing in the middle of the night, one-size-fits-all, a dedicated teacher, the death and resurrection of Jesus, one bread, one cup . . we have all experienced the "power of one." At times we deny or forget our power of grace as the holy and beloved of God. The day of prayer invites a closer look at our personal spirituality and affirms the ways we are to live our faith.
