Pope Francis: “ In our reflection on the environment we must make central the connection between the cry of the poor and the cry of the Earth”

Sr Frances McGuire is a Josephite sister who is both a wonderful retreat leader but also has lived with the poor and marginalised in places like northern Australia and Peru. She is well placed to lead this retreat having experienced first hand the devastation of poverty, marginalisation and damage to our common home.

Ignatian Spirituality focuses on seeing God in all of Creation. Pope Francis urges us to be caring of our common home, planet Earth - by recovering our connection with the natural world. Our new story reminds us of God as Trinitarian relational Being, a God whose loving presence is expressed in and through all living beings; which is called eco-spirituality. John Auer will lead us through the current understanding and the evolving ideas about this exciting new story, which begins at the first moment of creation.

Walking in silence, in Nature, allows us to connect deeply with creation, ourselves and others. We invite you to join us in this contemplative walking style.

As 2021 slips away, this is the perfect time to reflect on the year gone by. In the Ignatian tradition, this is not a superficial review of the past events, but a call to reflect from that deeper place of the heart.

“In the beginning was Power, intelligent, loving, energizing. In the beginning was the Word, supremely capable of mastering and moulding whatever might come into being in the world of matter. In the beginning there was not coldness and darkness: there was Fire”.

Excerpt from “Fire over the Earth” in The Mass on the World, Ordos, 1923.

Based on the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius, this retreat offers one a chance to increase and develop one’s awareness of God’s presence and action in their lives. It is lead by trained lay guides from the Christian Life Community.
