February

'The Life of St Benedict' by Fr Chad

Saturday 3rd February

What can we learn from the account of Saint Benedict's life by Gregory the Great? This talk will look at his leaving Rome, his time as a hermit, his different monasteries at Subiaco and Monte Cassino and his death.

‘Three Foundational Illusions’ by Fr Christopher

Saturday 10th February

It seems to me that meditation, as John Main taught it, overcomes three foundational illusions that make it almost inevitable that your politics is going to change, your economics is going to be called into question, your socio-economic perspective by which you critique the world will be pretty quickly taken away from you.  

'Lent' by Fr Bede

Saturday 17th February

Lent ..”your heart is greater than your wounds..”

           ..a time & a season for pointing the finger?

            or silently fingering a word in the sand?

'Lenten Hope' by Fr Wulstan

Saturday 24th February

This Home Retreat explores how Lent can help us to overcome our inner dividedness and strengthen our hope in God.
