Deep Peace and High Anxiety:
“Pray, Love, Remember”
We all live in what the poet W.H. Auden called the “age of anxiety.” But we are also invited into the peace of God, a peace so radical that it “passes all understanding.”
How can we get from here to there? Without denying the power of what we fear, how can we learn to live in trust and hope?
This retreat uses Scripture and poetry, as well as insights from psychology and art and the lives of the saints, to explore ways we might loosen the grip of worry on our lives, and enlarge our faith that we might hold our anxieties both more lightly and from a deeper place.
