Bearing the Unbearable

We are all facing the unknown in one way or another at the moment whether it is an uncertainty about where we are going to live, or whether we can put food on the table this week, or whether the world will be at war on a global scale soon, to what effect climate change will have on the planet when our children are adults. Perhaps the uncertainty relates to whether you will be able to find a job or how you are going to cope with a major change in your personal life or the death of a loved one.

The whole world seems to be at crisis point and none of knows how it will pan out. We are living on the edge, teetering between the known and the unknown. It can be terrifying. Our darkness in this unknowing is truly dark.

In this retreat, Bearing the Unbearable, we will be looking at how we can live the unbearable in a way that would be life giving and life changing. We will be looking at the reality of what the journey through the “uncertainty causing anxiety” to the “uncertainty that can be lived in faith” would entail: what it would look like and what it would require of us in order that we will not be overwhelmed, panicked and defeated but rather able to find meaning, healing and the courage to stand firm.

Sr Antonia Curtis osb will be your guide in this retreat.
