Centering Prayer 6-Day Silent Retreat with

Father Bill Sheehan

Monday, April 15 - Sunday, April 21, 2024

Mother St. Teresa:  “Because your soul is extremely simple, but when you will be perfect, you will be even more simple; the closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.”  “Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you.

All things pass. God does not change.

Patience attains all things.”

St. Francis de Sales: “Go in all simplicity; do not be anxious to win a quiet mind, and it will be all the quieter.

Do not examine so closely into the progress of your soul.

Do not crave too much to be perfect,

but let your spiritual life be formed by your duties,

and by the actions which are called forth

 by circumstances.”

Father de Caussade, S.J: "God is sufficiently wise and good, powerful and merciful, to turn even the most apparently disastrous events to the advantage of those who,

in simplicity, humbly adore and accept His will

in all that He permits."
