SUMMARY:Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Annotation\nThis retreat follows the entire 30-day Spiritual Exercises retreat\, but is adapted to be made during “daily life”\, that is\, without taking a month off of work or studies or family.  Retreatants meet once a week with their spiritual director (in-person or online) to review their prayer and to receive material for the following week of prayer.  It is expected that the retreatant would set aside 1 hour of prayer a day\, plus 15 minutes for the examen at the end of the day.  While it is usually better to begin this retreat in the early fall so that the retreat follows the flow of the liturgical year\, a 19th annotation retreat may be begun at any time during the year.  This can be determined with your spiritual director. \nA sliding payment scale is available. \nContact Sr. Michelle Cimaroli\, acj by email (mcimaroli@straphaelacenter.org) or phone (610-642-5715) for more information about the 19th Annotation. \nClick HERE to submit an inquiry about registering for the 19th Annotation.

SUMMARY:Encounters with Jesus: An Ignatian Contemplation Prayer Series for Lent
DESCRIPTION:During his public ministry\, Jesus did more than just preach.  In fact some of the best lessons we can learn from him are those taught through his encounters with the different people he met on the road.  In his travels\, Jesus met the poor and the rich\, the sick and the healthy.  He not only responded to those who reached out to him\, but also knew how to reach out to those who were unaware of what they needed from Him.\n\nThis 3-part series will highlight some of these encounters and\, by using St. Ignatius of Loyola’s imaginative form of prayer\, we will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves fully in each encounter – we will be there -- and have our own private meeting with Jesus!  Whether you’re a seasoned veteran in Ignatian prayer or are engaging with it for the first time\, this series will aim to help enrich your life of prayer and your relationship with Jesus through guided practice in this unique prayer form.  Adoration will be available in the Chapel following each gathering until 5:40pm\, for additional time for personal prayer.\n\nMarch 5 from 3pm to 4:30pm: Introduction to the Series\n\nThis session will be recorded for those who are unable to make it and want an introduction to this prayer form for any of the following sessions. There will be no introduction to Ignatian Contemplation in either the 2nd or 3rd sessions.\n\n 	Ignatian Method of Contemplative Prayer\n 	The Samaritan Woman at the Well\n\nMarch 12 from 3pm to 4pm: Readiness to Hear Jesus’ Invitation\n\n 	The Paralytic at the Pool\n 	Jesus Meets Zacchaeus\n\nApril 2 from 3pm to 4pm: Courage to be Whole - Two Courageous Women\n\n 	Woman Bent Over\n 	Woman with the Hemorrhage\n\nPlease bring a Bible and a journal with you. \n\nCost: $10 per session   \n\nFull series (3 sessions): $25\n\nUniversity students or members of post-grad service programs:\n\nCost: $5 per session   \n\nFull series (3 sessions): $10\nRegister

SUMMARY:Silent Contemplative Weekend Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This weekend retreat\, led by Fr. Paolo Gamberini\, SJ\, will be guided by the spiritual practice of absolute silence and loving attention\, while also engaging in contact with nature. \nThe prayer of silence or quietness is a simple and loving gaze of the Presence in the present moment\, a loving attention to God's presence\, and a sweet rest of the soul in Him. As clearly stated in the Jesuits’ writings of Lallemant\, De Clorivière and De Caussade\, this prayer is a way of total surrender to God\, without images or content. In this prayer of silence\, the soul forgets all things\, and as much as possible\, lets go of any memory and attachment to all creatures. At the Presence of God\, each one remains in silence and places on standby all his/her acts of all faculties. As Mary kept everything in her heart\, so we too are called to pay attention to and be born of God\, becoming the Mystery that dwells in our secret. \nDuring each day\, there will be common sitting meditations\, varying in length. In these moments\, instructions regarding breathing and relaxation of the body will be given; each one is invited to remain silent with the help of a simple word to be repeated or remaining in simple and pure non-objective loving attention. \nAfter each meditation\, there will be a time for sharing in the group\, how the meditation was in its technical aspects. The meditations will be integrated with walking meditation in nature\, listening to the sensations of redundancy that the prayer of quietness produces. Every day there is an instruction on the contemplative method and some reflections from the Bible and mystical texts of different religious traditions. There will be opportunity to have individual sharing moments with the Instructor. The Sunday Eucharist will be celebrated in a contemplative style. \nGuidelines for the Weekend \nSitting is done on a chair\, a cushion or prayer bench:  you may bring  your own if you wish. Wear comfortable\, loose clothing and easy walking shoes. Bring a light blanket or a shawl\, since your body temperature may cool down while sitting. Since we will stay shoeless during the time of contemplation\, bring wool socks to keep your feet warm. Refrain from wearing "noisy" clothing (e.g.\, nylon\, corduroy\, jeans) items that jangle\, and watches that beep. No use of cellular phones will be allowed during the time of meditation and any kind of spiritual reading. For any questions\, please contact: pgamberini@sju.edu \nDate: February 24 - 26\, 2023 \nTime: Starting at 4:00pm \nRegister
