RECOLLECTIONS
Recollection: from the Latin re- (again) and colligere (to gather)
To gather again
In the noise and fragmentation of daily life, we can start to lose ourselves - scattered across endless tasks, worries and demands. A short time of recollection is therefore necessary - time set apart to gather yourself back together, hear God’s voice, remember who you are as his daughter, and return to ordinary life with renewed clarity and peace.
What to Expect: Spiritual reading, guided meditation, Benediction, sacrament of reconciliation, a practical talk & refreshments.
DAY: Fourth Wednesday of the month (unless indicated otherwise)
TIME: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
FOR single and married women
Retreats

Recollections conducted by Opus Dei are generally two hours long and include a preached meditation (where a priest talks on a spiritual topic for about half an hour), an examination of conscience which explores your attitudes and likeness to the Lord, an opportunity to engage in spiritual direction and/or sacramental confession and some time of Eucharistic adoration.
