Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House www.goodcounselretreat.com
Men and women are invited to start the season of Lent by allowing some time away for reflection, prayer, and silence. Fr. Sean Kilcawley, director of the Family Life Office of the Diocese of Lincoln, invites you to take a break from distractions and come pay attention to how God has loved you, as he speaks on the theme "Love Casts Out Fear" (1 John 4:18). Fr. Kilcawley asks, "How does perfect love cast out fear? It does not require that you have perfect love! Rather, it is trusting that you are loved. Unconditionally. Perfectly. You are called to believe in God’s love for you - even in the midst of pain, guilt, trials - you no longer have to live in fear." The Ash Wednesday Recollection on Feb. 17 starts with 9 a.m. registration and 9:45 a.m. Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The in-person day includes conferences, confessions, stations of the cross, rosary and Benediction, with the 2 p.m. closing Mass ending about 3 p.m. The cost is $10 and in-person participants should bring a meatless sack lunch. Drinks will be provided. Advance registration is encouraged. Donations appreciated.
