Fr Richard - 'Love, Authority and Confidence'

This subject is approached through a reading of the third chapter of the book of the prophet Habakkuk. Particular attention is paid to the last few verses of this chapter, which are often held to be one of the strongest expressions of this faith, hope and trust in the Bible 

As part of the preparation for the 1500th anniversary in 2029 of the founding of Monte Cassino in 529 the theme for the Benedictine World this year is ‘awaken’. This Home Retreat will consider what we are waking from and what we are waking to…

This Home Retreat describes some experiences common to those who answer God’s call, not only the sense of expectation and hope of fulfilment that it offers, but also the centrality of the Cross and how being willing to embrace it strengthens faith and a sense of peace and vocation in a way that might not have been imagined.

'A retreat is always an invitation to conversion. It would be difficult to find a better guide on the way of conversion than the greatest of concerts, perhaps also the greatest of Christian theologians, St Augustine of Hippo.'
