From this outer quiet comes an inner stillness.<strong><br \/>Meeting with a Director:\u00a0<\/strong>You are assigned a personal companion for the duration of the retreat, who each day listens to your experience, helps you to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading you and to choose material for the next day\u2019s prayer.<strong><br \/>Communal Prayer:\u00a0<\/strong>worshipping and praying to God together in song, hearing God\u2019s Word and praise and intercession deepens our community in the Body of Christ, that we are members one of another in the same Body.<strong><br \/>The Eucharist\/Lord\u2019s Supper\/Communion<\/strong><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>which is the source and summit of our prayer, is provided each day.
