Understanding what it means to grow spiritually takes time. The grace of God is "a given" to spiritual growth. Yet, as individuals, God invites us to cooperate with the plan and process of growth for each one of us. Our spiritual practices help to cultivate the awareness of God in all things. Coming together in community also facilitates this. In this retreat day, we will enter periods of Centering Prayer and periods of simply being silent in each others' company, allowing God's Spirit to bless each of us in our individual and collective spiritual journeying.
