Fr. Mauritius Wilde is leading a retreat February 13-15 called Giving Up to Gain: A Retreat in Preparation for Lent. As we prepare for the Easter, we try to empty ourselves in order to receive the fullness of life that Christ has promised us. The life of St. Benedict (480-547) was an exciting journey of letting-go and giving-up. Going through trials and temptations, Benedict learned to be detached from parents, goods, and his own desires. Step by step he so became able to “dwell by himself” in the presence of God. As we prepare for the Feast of Feasts, we try to empty ourselves in order to receive the fullness of life that Christ has promised us. For a little taste of St. Benedict and Fr. Mauritius, listen to over 30 podcasts on a variety of themes at our website.
