Description
“Patrick is an intensely human person and not a plaster saint…. He offers us a Christian vision honed out of his own experience and trials. He offers us a challenge to live our own Christian life today in changing and turbulent times…. He gives to us the Celtic vision of the intimate presence of God in creation, in the Church, in people and in Scripture” —From “Getting to Know Our Directors” In this seven-day retreat, Discovering God in All, your director is Patrick, patron of the Irish and one of the most celebrated saints in history. Through excerpts from his own writings, we can unravel the facts of his life from the legends he has inspired and examine the unique perspective he brought to Christianity through his understanding of Celtic spirituality and the all-pervading immanence of God.
