Inner Healing Retreat - April 11-14, 2014

I had never been to a healing retreat before and I was stirred deeply within. The Daughters of Carmel, along with Fr. Vito Perrone, led a most sacred retreat. The beautifully prayerful atmosphere, the glowing faces and hearts of the sisters, the wonderful singing and chanting and the profound healing were all part of this very unique experience.

We were guided into contemplation and prayer through the angelic voices of the sisters. It was a pure and direct journey, teaching us to delve into the heart of Jesus Christ. We were led to recognize our inner wounds. Then, through much guidance, love and faith, we were led to receive the grace of the Holy Spirit, to find the strength to ask forgiveness to those we have hurt and to forgive those who have hurt us. It was a truly cleansing experience and I feel very blessed.

All of the volunteers were amazing. Thanks to their dedication and good cheer, the retreat was a true success. Thank you!

Blessings and love,

Maryann
