Hospitality: A versatile Charism
(Cottage Weekend Retreat) 14-16 Mar 2025
There is an invitation in these uncertain times to go deeper, a call to a deeper contemplative living which is rooted in the unconditionally hospitable embrace of God. From this place we are enabled to embrace ourselves with unconditional hospitality from which a natural flow extends to the embrace of the other – as our very self.
