The Pope on his recent retreat


Recently Pope Benedict XVI went on his annual Lenten retreat, which was given by Cardinal Arinze, recently retired Prefect for the Congregation of Divine Worship. Here is the article on it.


Retreats are always an important time to have one on one time with the Lord through prayer and the sacraments. It is a time for us to get away for a while, away from the world, to strengthen that relationship that needs it most, our relationship with God. Try to set a Saturday aside this Lent to have some extra prayer time. Spend time in Eucharistic Adoration, go to Mass, and read Scripture. Meditate on the mysteries of the Cross, and how through it, we can be offered salvation.
May you remain close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
