Member Log InLove's Reply Women's Discernment Retreat
Love’s Reply Women’s Discernment Retreat is an opportunity for women to come together to seek the will of God with the accompaniment and assistance of sisters from various religious communities. Women attending the retreat will have time for silence and prayer, and time for hearing talks and engaging in conversation with each other and with the sisters, as seek to discover the “next right step” in saying yes to Jesus.
For some, that next step may be visiting a religious community. For others, it may be going on a date. The talks will be on themes of growth in trusting God’s love, one's identity as a daughter of the Father, the discernment of Spirits, freedom in Christ, ways of living as bride and mother in the feminine vocation, Mary’s fiat, and continuing to say 'yes' in the ordinary everyday events of life.
Love's Reply Women's Discernment Retreat is sponsored by the Vocations Office of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, in Kansas.
Nine religiou
s communities will have representatives present for the weekend to give talks and pray with the women.
This year, the event will be, for the first time, an overnight at Prairie Star Ranch. It begins at 10:00 AM on Saturday, and concludes at 5:00 PM Sunday.
