Lord my God,
when Your love spilled over into creation
You thought of me.

I am from love
of love
for love.
— Jacqueline Bergan and Marie Schwan, CSJ

You are created from love, of love, and for love. It is that simple. God’s capacity to give love far exceeds our capacity to receive God’s love. However, we can stretch our capacity to receive and give God’s love through the daily practice of communicating with God in prayer. This Ignatian retreat is design to open hearts to receive more fully God’s love. Why not give it a try?
