A Vacation with the Lord

More about the book

A step-by-step outline for an eight-day personal, directed retreat. A single, unified experience of dynamic growth in self-knowledge and the knowledge of God. Based on the Spiritual Exercises, here is a plan for a time of refreshment and renewed commitment, carefully pointing out the attitudes and graces to be sought and the discernment needed to get the most out of the retreat. An enclosed outline offers suggested readings for a longer twelve-day retreat as well as a scheme for eight-day retreats for beginners and for mature retreatants. The use of books, journals and a spiritual director is explained, along with suggestions for the structure of each retreat day.
