RETREATS & COURSES
LUKE: ARTIST OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE
Luke: Artist of the Spiritual Life
Monday 23rd to Sunday 29th June 2025
Our retreat will combine praying the Word of God (Lectio Divina), Christian meditation, the Eucharist and personal time. The biblical inspiration will all come from the Gospel of Luke, which offers an exceptionally rich teaching on prayer and the Holy Spirit. Luke was later imagined to have been an artist — no surprise because his writing is so pictorial and memorable. The evangelist is no less an “artist of prayer” — not only in the many prayers included (such as the Magnificat) but also in his teaching about prayer throughout the Gospel.
