The Martha – Mary Balance of Daily Life 
Saturday October 13, 2018 from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm


The Martha and Mary story in Luke 10:38-47 illustrates the tension we often face between attending to God, as well as the worldly things that still must be accomplished.  Join with others to nourish your spirit and enhance your prayer life.  Be inspired by retreat facilitator, Janene Ternes, as she shares her amazing story of God’s presence through adversity, as well as her daily struggles to live a balanced life.

Participate in a variety of prayer experiences designed to help you listen more deeply.  Clarify God’s unique plan for your own balance between prayer and service as you pray through movement, music, Ignatian guided meditation, and journaling.  Basic every day movements will be taught which can be done by anyone, regardless of age, experience or physical limitation.

 All are invited to reflect, relax, and be refreshed as we journey with our sisters Martha and Mary.  Opportunities for optional Mass and/or Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered.
