Retreat OpportunitiesRENEW THE HEART--“The heart is the place where a person’s deepest feelings, core personality traits and basic spirituality resided.” We speak of a “heartfelt” response as one that is honest and genuine. Jesus reserves the highest honor possible for the “pure of heart” in the Beatitudes: “they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). With a “listening heart” we discover God’s purpose and plan for us. This retreat will help us imitate more deeply the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a Heart whose greatest desire is to show us mercy. Imitating the Heart of Jesus will help foster a “change of heart” in us. At Christ the King Retreat Center, Buffalo MN, www.kingshouse.com or 763- 682-1394. Suggested offering: $140.
