A N O A S I S O F P E A C E F O R P R I E S T SEvery priest knows in his heart that Jesus came

into his life one day and invited him to be His friend and to share in His mission. Fidelity to this friendship calls for openness to His love, personal and creative response, and quality time together. Jesus reappears and asks, “Do you

love me?” Over and over again, we respond: “Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.” And He responds: “Then follow me.”

P R I V A T E R O O M S F O R P R I E S T S T O B R E A T H ERecreation at the House of Prayer is available to all priests

from any diocese for daylong or weeklong retreats, either

singly or in small groups. Spiritual directors who speak

different languages are available for those who need them.

P R I V A T E R E T R E A T S F O R P R I E S T S T O B R E A T H EThe House of Prayer is designed in spare Southwestern style, surrounded by plants indigenous to California. A peaceful entrance fountain evokes the healing water of the Holy Spirit. And eight private hermitages with bathrooms, bedrooms and private patios offer the solitude necessary for rest and prayer.

R E L A X I N T H E C O M P A N Y O F S P I R I T U A L C O M P A N I O N SThe demands of our society, the complexity of our times, and our many pastoral demands sometimes necessitate a space for reflection and discernment, as well as the physical, emotional and spiritual rest required to revive oneself within the loving presence of spiritual companions.
