Abiding in God’s Love – An Ignatian Retreat in Daily Life
Our parish has been offering this one week Ignatian retreat in daily life for over 40 years. The rhythm of the retreat has helped individuals who want to be introduced to praying in the tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola, that is, engaging the intellect, feelings, and imagination.
We now offer you a refreshed version of the retreat with new Scripture passages and music. During the retreat, you will be invited to reflect on the Mystery of God’s love spilling over into creation; become aware of God’s presence in your life; listen to God’s call to you to be a receiver and giver of Divine Love; and become God’s friend.
Dates: January 25 - 31, 2026
To enter fully into the grace of this Ignatian retreat, we encourage you to prayerfully consider whether you are able to make space for the following commitments:
- Attend the opening session in person in the Chapel of St. Ignatius. The opening session is Sunday, January 25th from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Parking will be available at Visitation School. (A zoom option is available for those who live outside the DC metro area.)
- Set aside 30 minutes each weekday (Monday through Friday) for personal, uninterrupted prayer.
- Meet daily with a spiritual director (Monday through Friday) for approximately 30 minutes. Spiritual direction is offered in person on the Holy Trinity campus or virtually. If meeting virtually, please ensure you are in a private, quiet and prayerful environment.
- Attend the closing session in person in McKenna Hall. The closing session is on Saturday, January 31st from 8:45 to 10:45 am. Parking will be available at Visitation School. (A zoom option is available for those who live outside the DC metro area.)
Making these commitments will help foster a retreat experience that is focused, prayerful, and open to the movements of the Spirit.
