Silent Retreat/Prayer intentions.

[Former Member]

Hey everybody,

I am about to go on a silent retreat (Monday - Friday, but I'm praying for a dispensation during the N.D./Alabama game ). The seminarians studying at Mount Angel Seminary are required to spend about a week in silence and reflection. The silent retreat consists of community prayer and conferences (guest speakers - we just sit and listen), however, there is ample time for silent prayer and reflection.

I would love to pray for any of your prayer intentions (private and/or public) that you might have. If you would like me to pray for you, please either post in this thread or send me a private message by Sunday night. I will not be checking my computer from Monday morning to about Friday evening.

I know not everyone here believes in God or practices the Catholic faith. And I would love to pray for your intentions (as long as they are moral) regardless of your faith. I am making this gesture as an act of good will, and I hope I don't get flamed to hard on this message board.

Thank you and God Bless,

Stephen

whom should we be cheering for by proxy in the ND/Bama game? My guess would be the ND, but confirmation would be nice.

Enjoy the peace.

by the way, a point of clarification - how do you "conference" at a silent retreat?

It is called a conference, however, it is more of a guest speaker thing. We just sit and listen.

Oh... Notre Dame all the way.

I'm glad you took that in jest... Was nervous to post it didn't want to come off insensitive, but didn't want to pass up a great opportunity...



Seriously though pray for Africa... Way too much injustice going on there!!!

It's on the list, thank you. It's amazing how many social justice issues can be found in Africa at the moment. The human exploitation that is happening in that continent is frightening .

I'm in Africa like every other year and its hard not to just break down in depression... Such great people that live there!!!


When I'm there I always try to do something even if its small. You know the whole starfish mentality!!

Your school has a monastery? The best Christian books are easily the ones written by monastics. I could never be a monastic, but I'll be damned if those guys aren't near at the top of the holy chain of all of us sinners. I'm just thankful that some people go that route and then write about it so cretins like me can read their works. They get God. At least the legit ones.
