Tuesday Night Book Group: Manresa Ignatian Online Retreat

This summer, the Tuesday Night Book Group will discuss the 12-week Manresa Ignatian Retreat being offered free online through Boston College, which runs through Saturday, August 24th. Participants will review the presentation materials and daily exercises independently, and meet via Zoom to discuss the experience every other Tuesday night.

Boston College’s recommended textbook Finding Christ in the World invites the reader to “let God show you where and how He concretely breaks into your life.” A 12-week prayer experience framed by the Spiritual Exercises, this retreat invites a “conversion of heart from a tight focus on one’s self to a graced focus on God-with-us.” The book includes questions and prompts for reflection, and guidelines for reviewing each week of prayer.

Zoom discussions begin at 7 PM and typically run 75-90 minutes.
