Finding God in the Silence
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." ~Mother Teresa
Do you ever tire of the noise and demands of the world? Give your soul, mind, and body the gift of silence, with a weekend at the Retreat Center. Disconnect your phone, tablet, computer, and spend a weekend reconnecting with God.
