Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly will host the “Work of the Holy Angels” retreat Sept. 3-6.
The four-day retreat is an immersive experience into the understanding of the role angels play in people’s prayer lives. Angels have prayed to and adored God for many years. There is much to be learned from their wisdom they provide in guiding people to the Throne of God.
Father John Eudes Brohl, ORC, and Father Eusebius Schwald will lead the retreat as part of Opus Sanctorum Angelorum, the Work of the Holy Angels, an international movement within the Catholic Church faithful to the Magisterium. Its mission is to spread devotion to and conscious collaboration with the holy angels.
Conference topics will cover focus on the angels’ roles of guiding people in the spiritual life, their intercession, the miraculous works they can do and more.
One should not be reluctant to ask the angels to work miracles, a past attendee of the retreat said, stressing that nothing is either too big or too small for the angels’ concern.
All men and women are invited to join the retreat which includes Mass and adoration, liturgy of the hours and devotions, time for private reflection and opportunities for confession or spiritual direction.
