Retreat Days & Spiritual Exercises
Exercises for Men and Women
Exercises in Werdenfels „Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). These exercises are a good opportunity to prepare our hearts for the arrival of Jesus and to bring hope and joy to the world. This offer is aimed at women, men, and couples who seek spiritual replenishment and an encounter with God. Exercises are a time when one can leave behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life to encounter the love, peace, and mercy of Jesus in a new way. Program & Content These exercises include time for silent prayer, eucharistic adoration, the holy Mass, opportunity for conversation / confession, and lectures. Jesus invites us to get to know him more intimately, so that we may love him more and follow him better. The exercises will be led by Fr. Joachim Richter LC, who has gathered many years of experience in the spiritual life and offers support throughout the entire duration of the exercises. Everyone is warmly invited to participate in these days to strengthen their faith and their relationship with Christ. We encourage participants to bring friends or acquaintances or to invite someone who may not have been in church for a while to share the experience of the exercises.
