Registration Form: Contemplating Christ: The Gospels and the Interior Life Retreat
Retreat Theme  

The incarnation has made mystics of us all. What if we read the gospels as if that were true?

Join Fr. Vincent Pizzuto for an in-depth exploration of his book, Contemplating Christ: The Gospels and the Interior Life (Liturgical Press, 2018). Throughout this retreat participants will explore ancient mystical themes and meditative practices in new and surprising ways. Without sentimentality or over-simplification, this retreat equips us spiritually to confront the global crises we face with the love, beauty, and unquenchable optimism of the Gospel. Through a combination of presentations, contemplative listening, and opportunities for deep personal reflection, participants will be invited to gradually unfold the Christian mystery of deification to which the whole of the Christian spiritual life is ordered: through the incarnation, we have all be made ‘other Christs’ in the world. This, indeed, is the meaning of deification: that each of us are incarnations of LOVE itself. All participants are encouraged, but not required, to have read Contemplating Christ, in advance of the retreat. Alternatively, copies of the book will be made available at the Retreat House for an additional $20.00.


The Retreat begins with registration from 4-6 pm Friday, September 20, concluding at 9 am on Sunday, September 22, 2019.
