"Silence is the environmental condition most
conducive to contemplation, to listening to God, and to
meditation. The very fact of experiencing silence and
letting ourselves be “filled”, so to speak,
with silence, disposes us to prayer. God speaks in
silence, but we must know how to listen." Pope Benedict
XVI

Each weekend of prayer will explore an aspect of the
Eucharist, Mystery of Faith: priest and priestly people
offering the one sacrifice of Christ. Examples from
Scripture, the prayers of the Mass, and life will shed
light on ways to share more interiorly and fully in the
Mass.
Preached by Father Matthew Bradley
•The Foyer proposes an offering of $50 to $100
per day for the six day retreat and between $125 and
$250 for the weekend of prayer. (Inability to make this
offering should not keep someone from making the
retreat; please consult the Foyer.)
•All rooms have private bath and AC. Bethany
– the second building - has its own chapel and
coffee station.
•There is train service (the Greenbush line)
from South Station, Boston, to North Scituate where we
meet retreatants.
