The Christian Life: Exploring Lay Spiritual Practices

Deepen your faith with this extraordinary retreat. Whether you are a layperson of faith or a clergy member, this inspiring series is for you.

Although we sometimes think of holiness as belonging to the realms of the consecrated religious, clergy, and certain saints, being a lay Christian is just as powerful a vocation. And as Vatican II’s Lumen gentium reminded us, we are all called to be holy, no matter what our walk of life.

Now, in The Christian Life: Exploring Lay Spiritual Practices, you canapply time-tested Christian traditions to your own life. In doing so, you will intensify your experience of the sacred and gain deep insights into what it means to live as a lay Christian. Through 12 retreat conferences, you will look at traditional spiritual practices, the Rosary and other forms of prayer, pilgrimage, walking meditation, centering prayer, Lectio Divina, personal stewardship, saints, and crafting your own “Rule of Life.”

Bristling with insights and prayerfully taught by an award-winning teacher, these conferences will change the way you think about spirituality. You are sure to gain new insights into our spiritual tradition.

This is more than a retreat—it’s a way of life. You’ll find yourself returning to these conferences over and over for fresh ideas in order to continue deepening your spiritual life. Take the first steps of this spiritual journey today.
