A Christian Spiritual Retreat – Observing A Day Of Silence
Few people have ever found the hidden treasure in observing a special kind of Christian spiritual retreat called a retreat of silence. Some have other ways to describe it: meditation, listening to the inner self, hearing the voice of God. Whatever you prefer to call it, a day of silence gives breath to the soul. For Christians, this kind of retreat can be truly spiritual. The traditional retreat format includes games, activities, and lectures, which can unfortunately take the place of actually communicating with God. The day of silence is just the opposite. The only things you do all day are talk to God and listen for His voice.
We are inundated with sound everywhere we go. The car radio blasts on when I turn the key. The grocery store is playing Aerosmith in “musak! ” And you can learn how to speak Italian when visiting the rest room in your favorite restaurant, as they play language tapes over the speaker system! Planes zoom. Trains screech. The TV blares with commercials. Did you ever notice that you can virtually never escape the noise? Just as a body needs rest, so does the spirit. A quiet place is one anecdote to our stress.
As a Christian, I know how good it is to connect in spirit with God. So I take a Christian spiritual retreat once a year, at least. The idea is very simple. Find the most quiet, peaceful place you can. A retreat center often has single rooms available for these kinds of guests. Perhaps you prefer to stay at a local hotel for the day. Ask a good friend who will be traveling if you could use their home for the day while they are gone. This spiritual retreat for any Christian does not have to cost a dime. Just be sure to find a comfortable spot with no phones, no TV, and no radio.
Most people who plan a day of silence prefer to find an outdoor setting. Some prefer to hike, others to sit. If this sounds like the kind of spiritual retreat that fits you, be sure to bring along several things to make your experience more enjoyable. Bring the following: cushion, journal, pen, portable alarm clock, snacks, insect repellent, hat, sunscreen, warm jacket, hiking shoes, and water bottle. The day is yours …indulge in the solitude!

Wilderness Time: A Guide for Spiritual Retreat $14 “Time in “the wilderness” — solitary meditation on simplicity, prayer, and other key disciplines of faith — is directly in keeping with Jesus’ example of going apart to pray. Now, with the clarity and encouragement that distinguish the Renovare collection of spiritual resources, this gentle guide to retreat unshrouds that historical tradition — and so reveals marvelous opportunities for spiritual renewal in contemporary Christian practice.Helping us to create self-guided retreats — for individuals or groups — Emilie Griffin offers plans, encouragements, and suggestions based on her own experience and fortified by the inspiring words of contemporary Christian writers such as Eugene Peterson, Luci Shaw, and Virginia Stem Owens.A virtual primer for retreat, this volume defines the basics and provides practical tips on setting realistic expectations and on achieving the relaxation and freedom necessary for the soul to become, in the words of de Caussade, “light as a feather.” A detailed one-day retreat makes an ideal model for first-timers, and several different examples illustrate how time in the wilderness can be both accessible and wonderfully illuminating — no matter what your schedule. “Wilderness Time” is another balanced, practical strategy from Renovare helping us grow closer to God.” |

It asks us to recover a conviction of the goodness of our bodies and how God created us so that we can reclaim a positive, healthy attitude toward our individual bodies, toward the social body, the community around us, including the Church, the “earthbody,” the body of the natural world, and become spiritually whole. Fr. Thomas Ryan, as editor and contributor, leads with an introduction, reflections on the positive aspects of the human body, and the modalities of body expression in the Christian and non-Christian-Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Eastern Orthodox-traditions: meditation, prayer, yoga, exercise and rest, sex, fasting and feasting, silence and solitude, and acts of corporal mercy. He is followed by James Wiseman, James Dickerson, Casey Rock, and James Hall with a short overview of historical Christian attitudes toward the body, the benefits of yoga and Kripalu philosophy for Christians, and the ways of integrating personal spiritual practices with political, social, and environmental justice, through mission groups, Manna Inc., L’Arche, and wilderness groups.

15 Days of Prayer with Dietrich Bonhoeffer $9.99 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lutheran pastor, theologian, opponent of Hitler and martyr, stands as one of the boldest examples of twentieth century Christian witness. By the time that the Gestapo hanged him in Flossenberg Concentration Camp for involvement in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer had marked out not only a firm Christian defense of the rights of God’s Ancient People the Jews but had sketched out an undogmatic Christianity for “a world come of age.” The essence of this Christian vision was the belief that God is always present in Christ and always present in suffering. In a twenty-first century when trivial quarrels can still divide Christians, Bonhoeffer’s witness to this core gospel truth and his willingness to die for it, offer an enduring example. This book offers a fifteen day course in Bonhoeffer’s spirituality, drawing abundantly from his writings.A book in the “15 Days of Prayer” CollectionThis popular series is perfect for those looking for an introduction to a particular spiritual guide, those searching for gift ideas and those who merely wish to know more about the person and his or her spirituality. Additional volume planned in 2 to 3 month intervals. Each volume contains:• A brief biography of the saint or spiritual leader introduced in that volume• A guide to creating a format for prayer and retreat• 15 meditation sessions with focus points and reflection guide. |

15 Days of Prayer with Johannes Tauler $1.99 “15 Days of Prayer” CollectionNow distributed by New City Press, this popular series is perfect for those looking for an introduction to a particular spiritual guide, those searching for gift ideas and those who merely wish to know more about the person and his or her spirituality. Additional volume planned in 2 to 3 months intervals. Each volume contains:• A brief biography of the saint or spiritual leader introduced in that volume• A guide to creating a format for prayer and retreat• 15 meditation sessions with focus points and reflection guidesFollow in the footsteps of Johannes TaulerJohannes Tauler (c. 1300—1361), one of the great Rhineland mystics, was born to a prosperous and apparently religious family, both he and his sister entering religious orders at a young age. He began his Dominican novitiate in 1314 and spent several years studying logic, philosophy and theology before his ordination to the priesthood, after which he dedicated his life to the spiritual direction of Dominican nuns and the laity and above all to preaching. Under the influence of Meister Eckhart, Tauler developed a mystical approach to Christian spirituality rooted in the concept of God’s “birth” and continuing presence in the human soul.Make room for GodJohannes Tauler invites us to prepare the “ground of the soul” to receive God, so that the Word of God may be born in us as it is in Mary. Focusing on themes such as God in Creation and the return of all things to God, Tauler nevertheless insists that the union of the human soul with God is by grace and not by nature. Through prayer, we surrender our own striving and open our hearts to God’s purposes: this is not abandonment of moral purpose, however, but detachment and openness to the movements of the Holy Spirit. A 15-day retreat with Johannes Tauler, then, offers true depth to the soul that welcomes God. |

He was a man of paradoxes: of words and silence; a contemplative involved in the fight for social justice and a man of solitude who, by keeping himself in the background, sought to deepen the fundamental human experience. Ultimately, he was a man with only one goal: union with God and communion with humankind.Develop a contemplative spirit.One of the most prolific Cistercian authors, his teachings are drawn from classic and monastic spirituality. His approach is characterized by this quotation from his seminal work, The Seven Storey Mountain: “I don’t want to speak to you as an author or a narrator, not even as a philosopher but simply as a friend.” Above all, Thomas Merton sought to deepen the fundamental human experience through union with God. One word sums up his effort: contemplation.
