A Silent Retreat for Men and Women
June 8-10, 2012
The Gifts and the Call of God are Irrevocable
By baptism all Christians are called to holiness, which is simply the fullness of life in Christ. All the great saints have emphasized the necessity of humility for making progress on the spiritual journey. This retreat will explore the role of humility in spiritual growth with the help of Saint Benedict, Saint Teresa of Avila, and Saint John of the Cross. Reference will be made to the Rule of Saint Benedict and the book Fire Within by Father Thomas Dubay, S.M..
The retreat master will be Father Edward Mazich, O.S.B. He served as assistant master of ceremonies (2007-2009) and began serving on the seminary faculty in 2007, teaching Sacred Scripture. In 2008 he was named Director of Solemnly Professed Benedictine and Other Religious Seminarians and Assistant Director of Human Formation. He is Novice Master of the monastic community.
