July & August Contemplative Retreats (reg by 31 Mar)
3 – 5 July OR 21 – 23 Aug | Montfort Retreat Centre | with Stanley Tay
Be still, and know that I am God
Psalm 46:10
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me — watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
-(Matthew 11:28-30, Message)
Many of us live hurry-packed schedules and come under constant pressure to perform, achieve and deliver. Such kind of life is unsustainable if we do not set aside regular time to rest, be refreshed, and reconnect with God. Hence, Jesus is always inviting us to “come away by yourselves…” (Mark 6:31) and “I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28).
As Jan Johnson reminds us, “A retreat as extended Sabbath renews us as we experience solitude and play at a slower rhythm, allowing God more space to interact with us.” You are thus invited to set aside some time to enter into a sacred space at this retreat, to pause and reflect, to commune and listen to God, in an undistracted, quiet and restful environment. There will be guided sessions in practising the spiritual disciplines as well as times for contemplative silence during this retreat.
My prayer for all of us is that as we put aside all distractions to converse and commune with Him, the Spirit will do a work of restedness, refreshing, and renewal. May the Lord also rekindle our love for Him and reignite the intimacy in our relationship with Him as He overwhelms us with His love in this special time of encounter with Him.
