“Each year the physical growth of every human being forms and gives a new meaning to life.

Childhood has wonder about all the learning process.

Adolescence is a striving to conquer one’s immaturity, rise above it, and depend upon the experiences of life to develop a rightful place in the family, among friends and socially. They are not always secure in this, but they never stop groping and hoping for that steady existence that growing up appears to have.

Each year is lived one day at a time. Some are full, some are dull, some are filled with changes. The expression we so often use to describe the ups and downs of life is a common phrase, ‘That’s life.’

Every age has its fears, doubts, upsets, interests, concerns, health problems and Spiritual highs and lows.

This Retreat must help us to balance our thinking, practices and goals to not take our Spiritual growth for granted as we so often take the physical aspects of life. We can control our Spiritual behavior. We can use our love for God to develop more Grace to put God above all physical and mental aspirations, and accept what we are, and what God meant for our Purpose of life to be: a Saint.”
