With this in mind, our Rector, Fr. Brady Williams, prepared a silent retreat for all of us, which was

As a preamble to this retreat Fr. Williams took us to the Marian Shrine of Loretto, which containsthe house of Nazareth where Jesus, Mary and Joseph lived. It was in this house that the Wordbecame flesh in the womb of Our Blessed Mother. It was also in this house where Jesus lived inhumble obedience to His earthy parents for 30 years. Having been given the opportunity of visiting this amazing shrine and participating at Mass helped us to open our hearts to receive theWord of God in our lives.

Throughout the five days of retreat we were given teachings about how the Word of God is our food and the food of the Church.

Five days of talks and moments of reflection, meditation and contemplation helped us to deepenour love, reverence and knowledge of the Word, to move beyond a fundamentalist understandingof Scripture and to experience how Sacred Scripture brings us into an encounter with God. TheScriptures transforms us through the Word of God.
