St. Francis Springs Prayer Center, Stoneville, NC The setting for this retreat is complete silence with an invitation for prayerful reflection, often accompanied by Scripture. It is helpful to have an experience of a silent retreat and appreciation of the blessings of silence. An assigned spiritual director will meet with each retreatant every day of the retreat. The director supports the individual in the movement of God with her/him as s/he becomes aware of those movements through the silence and prayer of the retreat setting. |
