Online Ignatian retreat for those too busy to go on a retreat

Starting on Sept. 16 (or anytime after that) you can participate in an online retreat that Creighton University has adapted from the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius.  This 34 week retreat is for those who don’t have the time to physically go away on retreat, but want to do something concrete to deepen their lives.  Each week, you visit the website, read the weekly guide and other available resources as time permits.  You can do this retreat alone, or with your spouse or with a group of friends. 

It is great to see how technology can put to very good use in projects such as this one.  The online retreat guide offers a new photo each week and suggests you place it on your computer’s desktop.  That way, while you are working on your computer, the image and related prayers/thoughts can gently remain with you.
