Silent Directed Retreats

The rich opportunity to come away and enter into silence to taste and see the goodness of the Lord is offered in the Ministry of the Spiritual Exercises. ​The retreat participant engages in meditation and contemplative prayer rooted in the Sacred Scriptures and the Ignatian Tradition. Daily Mass and spiritual direction are part of each of the 3, 5 and 8 day retreats.

Being able to attend the 3-day silent retreat at Mundelein, was exactly what I needed to restore myself and my relationship with Jesus. Having some major life changes: recently getting married, family passing, new baby, and moving from my hometown, I was beginning to feel like I was losing myself in all these changes, initially I thought to go through these changes I needed to change who I was. So I went into this retreat looking for solace in this new person. As I spent time with the Lord, it felt as though He reminded me of who I was before all these changes, his precious daughter that was given a title of Queen Warrior. This allowed me to welcome all these changes and see them as blessings. I believe my biggest take away was the powerful affirmation He gave me through one of my holy hours, that the way that I love and serve my family and friends is essential for making saints and building His Kingdom! This was something that I was struggling with for a while, I felt I needed to change the way that I loved and served because it was a burden (A lie that was placed when all these changes were occurring in my life).

​

During my earlier silent retreats, the Lord would constantly push me to ask Him what ever my hearts desire. One of the mornings of my silent retreat days, I felt so victorious and joyful overcoming this lie (mentioned above) that I said to my self: "it would be nice to celebrate with a steak dinner." Low and behold, what was for dinner that night.... A STEAK DINNER! Thank you Lord for also restoring my child like freedom to ask my hearts desires!
