Join Mary MacKillop Place for a time of contemplative prayer in the Mary MacKillop Memorial Chapel.
Please note: a time of contemplative prayer will continue in the chapel on the first Wednesday of the month in 2025. This will be starting in February.
Our heart knows what our mind has forgotten – it knows the sacred that is within all that exists.
During this retreat the invitation is to deepen our sense of wonder and mystery.
This retreat allows us to dip into what we are awaiting, our deepest longing, God-with-us.
Attending to our universal guest, we discover ever more deeply the guidance wisdom and faithfulness of the ‘God-with-us’ in the ups and downs of our everyday reality.
God incarnate calls us ever more deeply into like every second of every day.
Please bring your bible.
The Sabbatical is for women and men religious living ‘the time of the Sage’. The rich time of life in the 80’s years. An excellent team of Australian-based presenters.
This silent guided retreat will draw on the wisdom from Celtic Spirituality and from the book Wisdom of the Body by Christine Valters Paintner.
It will offer a contemplative journey to wholeness, recognising that our bodies and Earth’s body are One and are vessels to the Holy. The themes will be developed through Sacred, Music, Poetry, and Contemplative processes.
Through the silence of this retreat, we are invited into the embrace of the Trinity and experience the Hospitality of God. Over these days we will contemplate the Rublev Icon. Henry Nouwen says: the more we look at this holy image with the eyes of faith, the more we come to realise that it is painted not as a lovely decoration for a convent church, nor as a helpful explanation for a difficult doctrine, but as a holy place to enter and stay within.
