Summer is fast approaching. For many it is a time for a change of pace…an opportunity for some reflective time. Are you noticing an inner invitation to set some time for your own retreat? Here are some Vincentian oriented opportunities.

The New York Sisters of Charity are offering “Praying our commitments: Igniting the fire of Charity Anew”

Thresholds are nothing new in our Vincentian-Charity story. The love of Christ constantly impelled our founders to cross over into new places of the mind, heart and spirit. With this in mind the sisters of New York Sisters of Charity are presenting a retreat (link no longer functioning) open to Sisters of Charity, Associates, current and former members of the Vincentian-Charity family, and ministry colleagues. Listen to our wisdom guides, Vincent, Louise, Elizabeth Seton, Frederic Ozanam, and Rosalie Rendu, and ask for the grace of courage to ignite Charity’s fire anew. (Sun. evening, July 10, 5 pm supper – Sat. afternoon, July 16, ending with lunch)

Reflections:

• If you can not make the journey to Nazareth or some other spiritual center where else might you find it this summer?
• Do you have the opportunity to share your inner journey with someone?
