Sometimes in life we encounter things that overwhelm us and whose meaning we do not understand. Our first reaction is often disappointment and resistance. For years we live in the past, afraid to take a step forward. We are afraid to accept the course of events because they do not fit our vision of a happy life. Why does this happen? What holds us back on our journey, and how can we live with it so that it begins to work for our good?

These questions will be explored during the women’s retreat entitled “Mary – Disciple of Her Son”, which will take place on June 12–14 at the diocesan retreat house Fides et Ratio in Shchuchinsk. The retreat will be led by Sr. Anastasis Omelchenko ISMM and Sr. Kazimiera Wanat CSFN.
