This "Spiritual Workout" retreat is about getting in shape for the spiritual combat that we are in. Learn the weapons we need to fight this battle: Prayer, Fasting, Forgiveness, the sacraments and Lectio Divina.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that we are in a spiritual battle, and if we want to act habitually according to the Spirit of Christ, we must pray habitually in his name. "The 'spiritual battle' of the Christian's new life is inseparable from the battle of prayer." (2725)
Are you ready for the fight? Join Fr John Anthony in preparing for the battle of prayer.
