Calendar for praying the “Step by Step” Online Retreat
along with the liturgical year 2009-2010
You
should feel free to begin the retreat and do the Steps with your own pace, but
if you wish you can follow this schedule that tries to harmonize the retreat
with the celebrations of the liturgical year.
So you will contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation and of the birth
of Jesus around Christmas and the Passion and Resurrection around Easter.
First
we take the Steps biweekly that gives time to get familiar with the method, to
experiment, to find the best place and time of the day for prayer and so on.
Then we will go mainly with weekly exercises – except that for some demanding
meditations (like Steps 11-13) and with the theme of the Resurrection and Pentecost
we will go again with a slower, biweekly pace. During the holy Week we make out
prayer more intense to contemplate the events of the passion and arrive to the
Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
The
Retreat ends at Pentecost with the “Contemplation to attain the love of God”
that will lead us to the “ordinary” times of daily life in the aftermath of the
retreat.
If you have any questions or comments, contact us by e-mail . The best is to join to
share your spiritual journey in our Dialog and Prayer
Group . Members of this Group will receive reminder e-mails for each Step
of the Exercises so you will not miss the schedule.
