God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
For very many people, and especially for those involved in a 12-Step Programme, the Serenity Prayer offers a vision of life that is rooted in faith, open to new possibilities, and yet serene in the face of human limitations.
Our Steps2Serenity Retreat is being offered to those who are involved in a 12-Step Programme, and who wish to come to an awareness of themselves as they are and to improve their conscious contact with God as they understand him. The retreat will offer periods of guided prayer and meditation, times for silent reflection, the opportunity of the Eucharist for those who wish and a chance to talk to one of the Directors in a personal way.
The retreat begins at 8.00pm on Friday 20 April (registration: 7.30pm) and continues until after lunch on Sunday. Cost (including accommodation and meals): €140 (concessions available).
Those who are unable to attend the full retreat may wish to come for the Saturday only, beginning 9.30am and ending 9.00pm. Cost (including lunch and supper: €60 (concessions available).
