😳My first silent Jesuit retreat, focusing on the teachings of St. Ignatius Loyola. i was welcomed, warmly embraced & given the tour of the Retreat House men's quarters, chapel, Church, and Cloistered Grail by our Dean of Order/Discipline my ~convent Sister Temple😍was our reverent, cheerful hostess, navigator, provider of meals, and directions. I was then introduced to; my ~cloistered Grail instructor Sister Resurrection😍 who taught me daily with prayer, the lesson exercises, points, lecture, and prayer. ~Jesuit Notation, dictate, relay lesson, coaching was Presided by Father Dreyer 😍 ~Mass / Reconciliation /Council was Presided by Father Evans 😍 his Godly Orderly Direction was spot on, considering we never met prior. His Latin at Mass, and Confession was shocking, intimidating, moving, emotional, water works. To High light my Monastary's Church experience was the Angelic Choir of Cloistered Nuns at Mass, Adoration, Angelus, was refreshingly Magnificent. My completion of the Mens silent Jesuit retreat will be etched within me as a GOD provided experience to share & spread HIS word through Our Holy TRINITY, Our Blessed MOTHER and the earthly lessons of St. Ignatius Loyola. I recommend this Retreat to any and all practicing Catholics searching to improve the spiritual concious contact, relationship, mindful awareness of moving closer to Our TRIUNE GOD. It's time to stop wasting time give yourself this gift of these HOLY Men and Women who, teach us, remind us, inspire us, encourage us and... Love US. 💪🏼💖🙏🏿✝️💜🛐🙏🏻💝💪🏿 Strength TRINITY...

As a native Brooklynite, I think the churches and synagogues of Boro Park make this a very special part of Brooklyn for any devout Christian. The Most Precious Blood Monastery, along with moroccan style Beth El synagogue on 15th Ave are the two shining stars if Boro Park, and the grotto at St. Catharine of Alexandria, also on Fort...
Read moreFirst time doing a spiritual exercise...I recommend it to everyone! We all need to stop and connect ourselves to God through Jesus and Mary. We can be so vain as humans that we forget what truly matters...life is way too short.. we definitely need to work on our souls. The nuns sound so angelic. The attention from Sister Acahuato through this exercise was priceless! Sister Mary Arc teaching were very helpful. I was very happy to see the Msgr. Philip J. Reilly and have the chance to speak with him before I left. (God bless him) I would definitely want to do it again in God's willing and help in any way can. May God continue to bless them in the journey they...
