About the retreat
Hearts Ablaze: Praying the Psalms.
Moving beyond mediocrity to passion. Write your own psalm of praise.
Pen your own lament
Join Sister Eveleen Retreat House and Ignatian Spiritual Director Colin Renouf, together with his wife Carol for this 2-Night Retreat focusing on the Psalms as our Prayer Book. “To instruct us in candid honesty, God gave us the book of Psalms – a worship manual, full of ranting, raving, doubts, fears, resentments, and deep passion combined with thanksgiving, praise and statements of faith …this is how God wants us to worship him – holding back nothing of what you feel.” Rick Warren. We will look at various types of psalms, let them speak to us, understand their form and structure, then write our own psalms. There will be periods of silence throughout the retreat.
