Women seeking a deeper relationship with Christ are invited to attend ‘All or Nothing: Living Every Moment for and with Christ,’ a 24-hour retreat led by Janette Howe of the Seven Sisters Apostolate, May 8–9 at Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House near Waverly.
The overnight retreat will begin Friday at 7 p.m. and conclude Saturday with Mass followed by a 6 p.m. supper. A virtual attendance option is also available for those unable to join in person.
The retreat invites women to embrace a life of radical trust and surrender to God’s will. Through prayer, reflection and teaching, participants will explore what it means to recognize Christ’s presence not only in extraordinary moments, but in the everyday rhythms of life.
Janette Howe, founder of the Seven Sisters Apostolate, will guide retreatants through the practical and spiritual challenges of living with greater awareness of God’s presence. Topics will include surrendering control, trusting God in uncertainty and encountering Christ in interruptions, disappointments and daily responsibilities.
“This retreat offers women the opportunity to step away from the noise and rediscover the beauty of living fully in the present moment,” said organizers. “Holiness is not found in extraordinary achievements, but in ordinary fidelity, saying yes to God in each moment He gives.”
Registration is now open for both in-person and virtual attendance. For more information or to register, visit: https://goodcounselretreat.org.
