CARMELITE RETREAT-PILGRIMAGE WITH CACS
Pilgrimage is about transformation. It’s about making us more like Jesus Christ. This is what both Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross set out to do in their writings such as Teresa’s Way of Perfection and John’s Living Flame of Love. Indeed, there’s no more powerful way to understanding their life transforming teaching than by experiencing their world first-hand. Likewise, pilgrimages to the Holy Land bring the Bible alive in an absolutely unique way.
On each day of the retreat-pilgrimage there will be a planned itinerary in the mornings, involving powerful presentations from the retreat leaders designed to integrate all you’re experiencing into your interior life, followed by a guided visit to a place of interest in the environs. During our time together we hope to explore various themes which arise from the scriptures or our saints’ writings whilst placing them in the unique setting within which we find ourselves.
Our retreat-pilgrimages will not leave you the same! Demand for places on has been high in the past so email admin@carmelite.org.uk for more information for the two planned for 2022.
