Ignatian Lenten Retreat 2022 | Fremantle Parish | Ignatian Spirituality WA


“It was because of love that the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us.”

 

Lent is a time of journeying, where we are preparing ourselves to join with Jesus on the last days of his life which led from the Supper Room to his show trial, conviction and death by crucifixion, coming to completion three days later as the risen Christ of St. Paul’s letters.

You are invited as part of your Lenten preparation for Easter to come together for a series of (five) one-hour prayerful evenings where we will journey with Jesus Christ through his life to his death and resurrection.

We will be using some of the meditation exercises from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola as our guide for the journey, following the themes outlined in the four weeks of the Exercises.

Handouts detailing the prayer exercises will be provided each week which can be used during the following week as part of your own preparation for Easter.

The journey is best experienced over the five weeks, however if you cannot attend all five weeks you are welcome to attend when you can.
