The call to embrace struggle is not an act of resignation but a commitment to life in its fullness. In this one day retreat via Zoom with Prairiewoods, we walk with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - Jesuit, scientist and mystic. We explore the powerful imagery found in his essay, 'The Spiritual Power of Matter,' consider the way he faced his life struggles - especially those related to the Church and to the World - and prayerfully reflect on their relevance to our own life experiences and present situation. This online retreat via Zoom includes time for prayer, input, reflection, contemplative dialogye and sharing and is facilitated by Kathleen Duffy, SSJ, PhD., professor emerita of physics and director of the Institute for Religion and Science at Chestnut Hill College.
