“CREATING A SPIRITUAL DESERT FOR GOD: Learning to Live for God Alone” is a transformative retreat designed to deepen your spiritual journey and foster a profound connection with God. Through a series of engaging talks, you will explore the limitless greatness of God, prompting you to release all that is not aligned with the divine purpose. The retreat focuses on the discipline of discipleship, encouraging honest introspection and the shedding of ego to make room for the Holy Spirit. Participants will discover the path to becoming a Universal Brother or Sister, embodying the presence of Jesus in every encounter. The culminating talk explores the concept of complete abandonment to God’s will, embracing the cross out of love for Jesus. Guided by the inspiring 15 Days of Prayer with St. Charles de Foucauld, written by Fr. Michel Lafon, this retreat promises to be a life-changing experience of spiritual growth and transformation.
