Presented by Carl McColman

In the words of Teilhard de Chardin, joy is an “infallible sign of the presence of God.” How do we nurture joy in our lives? Where does it come from? How can it make a difference in the ordinary rhythms of each day? Our retreat will consider joy — a fruit of the Holy Spirit — as a gift given to us through divine grace. Indeed, joy is one of many gifts the Spirit gives us — in our hearts. By considering the “gifts of the heart” as invitations into prayer, we will reflect on how joy is given to us, and how we can most graciously receive this life-affirming gift.
