On Fire for the Light
Women's Lenten Retreat
Led by: Heather King
We followers of Christ are both squarely in the center and called forever to pilgrimage toward the periphery of our neighbors, our belief, and ourselves. Lent is the season to reflect upon the radical message of the Gospels, and the light of Christ, for which we long.
Do we have the gift of desperation? Are we selling all we have to follow Him? Do we hunger and thirst for the Great Physician who reminds us: "Healthy people don't need a doctor; sick people do?"
Author, speaker, and Magnificat contributor Heather King will interweave the story of her own holy longing with an invitation to a deeper journey toward Christ's eternal light, particularly through the spirituality of St. Therese of Lisieux.
