With Teilhard de Chardin SJ
Into our hands, in the hands of all of us, our world, our life are placed like a Host, ready to be charged with the divine influence a real presence of the Incarnate Word. The Divine Milieu
Directed by Sr Shelley Barlow RNDM
This Retreat will be set within the milieu of Ignatian Spirituality. It will highlight key aspects at
the heart of the Ignatian way – finding God in all things, discernment, contemplation and
companioning with Jesus and each other.
These will become evident as we explore the insights of 20th Century priest, palaeontologist
and mystic Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ. What distinguishes him from mystics across the
Tradition is his gift to bring science and faith together with startling perception. He will lead us
to love matter in all its forms and see that Christ, Eternal Word of God, holds all things together
and draws them up ahead to fulfilment.
