A retreat refreshes and revitalizes, gives the opportunity for more time spent in prayer and contemplation, and rekindles and deepens one's relationship with God. One may take this priceless opportunity to hear God’s call more clearly and to seek God's healing grace and thereby attain a higher degree of spiritual awakening and renewal. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, And I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28).

St. Thomas Aquinas teaches about Rectitude of Intention

Jesus spoke to St. Thomas Aquinas one day:  "Thomas, you have written well of me.  What reward do you wish for your work?" 

St. Thomas responded: "Lord, I want nothing else but You." 


'Rectitude of Intention' means having the correct intention in all that we do - in our daily work, our recreation, our civic obligations, and our religious duties - however, not for our glory but all for the glory of God.

Personal Days of Retreat and Renewal are available for individuals – Please call for more information and scheduling.

Metanoia "Let your minds be remade" 17 january - 12 december, 2023

Metanoia is a Greek word that simply means change your mind. This is something that comes right from the heart of the Gospel. The call of Jesus at the beginning of his public teaching was to repent. The Greek word behind that is in fact metanoia: Change the way you're looking, don't beat yourself up for the mistakes you've made but understand where you are and change your perspective. Mark Carney Jane McAuliffe & Dennis McAuliffe Marco Schorlemmer Jane Williams Matthew Fox Mark Medish Giovanni Felicioni David Egan Diane Tolomeo Barry White

Thomas Aquinas: Political Philosophy 

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) A Peer Reviewed Academic Resource

In Aquinas’ view, human laws are essential for the maintenance of any organized and civilized society. At the same time, however, Aquinas understands human laws to be somewhat limited in scope.

QUIET - PEACE - PRAYER

The Society of Jesus is currently guided by a set of four Universal Apostolic Preferences. Crucial among these preferences is showing the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment.

“Come away by yourselves to a quiet place and rest a while.” - Mk 6:31



Weekend Silent Retreat Theme: Holy Ground – Seeing the Sacred in the Everyday

Our day is often busy or restless. Even a few minutes each day of reflection or an annual retreat awakens us to God’s presence in our lives. As Jesus promises, “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:20) God pitches a tent, dwells within us and among us.

2023







We offer weekend retreats for women and men who need a spiritual re-charging and re-ignition of their hopes.

A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. 

Luke 6:43-45; Matthew 7:17-18

Are You Looking For ….

Time away to rest and pray.  These are core spiritual practices in the life of a mature disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus invited seekers to "come and see.”  To his friends, recognizing their weariness, said, "Come away with me. Let us go to a quiet place and rest for a while." (Mark 6: 31) 

Do You Know ….

Relationships need time to grow and develop, as well as space to listen, to learn, and freedom to be honest and vulnerable.  

The individual retreat offers time, space, rest, and prayer we long for and Jesus invites us to. The "direction" of directed retreats is that of discovering and exploring your own journey in faith and life and which path better helps you go in the direction you seek and Jesus invites.  

“A House Of Silence  Where Everyone Speaks With God”

Are you spiritually hungry, tired, or restless? 

Jesus asks, “What do you want me to do for you?” Montserrat Jesuit Retreat House offers a holy space and a beautiful place by the lake to deepen your relationship with Jesus. Retreatants experience restorative peace and transformative renewal on these grounds made sacred by prayer. 

“Rejoice Always, Pray Continually, Give Thanks In All Circumstances; For This Is God's Will For You In Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Ignatian Weekend Retreats

An Ignatian Retreat is rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola directed by an experienced retreat master who provides a series of presentations designed to assist you with your prayer, reflection and spiritual journey. The retreat includes Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, Stations of the Cross, Rosary, Healing Service, and Spiritual Direction. It is a time of rest and silence to refresh and to deepen your relationship with God. 

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

Retreats include personal prayer, opportunities for Morning Prayer, Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, Stations of the Cross, Rosary, Healing Service and Spiritual Direction.

EXAMEN

God is found in our experiences. During each retreat, the Examen is offered as a process to reflect on our daily experiences with God.

SILENCE

Often in our busy world we struggle to hear God’s voice. Silence deepens our spiritual life, and enables us to listen to the presence of God within

DISCERNMENT

Retreatants deepen their relationship with God through their own freedom of choice, whether making a major life decision or finding a new perspective on a certain situation.

What is a Personally Directed Retreat?

Rooted in the Gospel and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Personally Directed Retreat has been a part of the Jesuit tradition at Milford for more than forty years.  You will be praying in community with others, but on your own schedule, following the needs and hopes you have brought.  Each retreatant will meet with a Spiritual Director who serves as a companion on their week-long journey listening, responding and supporting them throughout their retreat. The time away includes daily liturgy, and other activities designed to deepen one’s awareness, such as journaling, reading, working with art materials, listening to music, resting, or walking our 37-acre-grounds.

Praying with the Saints [weekend retreats] April, June, October 2023 | https://christianheritagecentre.com/retreats 

The great Catholic theologian and philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas defines love as “the choice to will the good of the other.” Love is an action, it is a selfless action, that seeks to lead others towards a relationship with God and, eventually, heaven. Love/charity is the foundational virtue. It is the keystone virtue. All of the other virtues we have are rooted in love.

The Los Angeles Religious Education Congress is the largest annual gathering of its kind in the world.

Join us February 23-26, 2023 at the Anaheim Convention Center for the 2023 Religious Education Congress. 

The excitement begins with Youth Day, Strive 4 Life, and continues with our Adult Days, Embrace Grace! We look forward to seeing you there!

Youth Day Artwork and Theme Reflection

God has given each and every one of us the gift of life, so we should strive to live it the best we can. That is why our 2023 Youth Day theme is “Strive 4 Life”! In our daily lives, sometimes we do not realize what it takes to Strive for Life. What actions do you make that affect your life? What sacrifices do you make that affect your life? What decisions do you make to affect your

life? These are all questions that affect you without you even knowing it.

In the first reading, we hear about Moses explaining to the Israelite people on why obeying God's commandments are crucial for our salvation. Moses says to “Choose life”, which means to disregard sin and death and to follow God for everlasting life. Believing that God is ultimately the one true life and following his commandments to truly capture life. In the Responsorial Psalm, “Blessed are they who hope in the Lord”, give us a clear message for all those who follow God. “Blessed” can mean many things, but we discovered that it ultimately means to be favored upon or given happiness. To live a good life means to be happy, if we believe in God and his word, he will bless us to be happy and filled with life.

Finally in the Gospel, we hear one of the most known readings and more importantly a verse that many of us, catholic or not, have heard before, “take up his cross daily”. What does it mean to take up your cross? Jesus suffered and died on the cross for us, we know that it wasn’t easy and most of us wouldn’t want to be killed on a cross, yet Jesus tells us to take up our own struggles in our daily lives. Our lives aren’t perfect; we face obstacles and sin along the way to lead us away from the beauty of life.

For example, in our lives we have to make certain sacrifices, although it may hurt us, it can bring us closer to God. That's exactly what Jesus did, he carried our sins on the cross to make sure we lived a life without sin. To take up our cross daily we have to follow Jesus. Another example can be shown through our decisions. Those decisions can be good or bad, the good decisions lead us into a life closer to God, a life that improves daily. Those bad decisions can lead us to a more disconnected life with God, being utilitarian and selfish.

The theme for youth day “Strive 4 life”, is a motto we can use everyday to help us live everyday to the max. Of course we can’t live a perfect life, but if we try our best each and every day, we will “Strive 4 life.” Our theme “Strive 4 life” leads us to seize the time and breathe, listen, believe, and live!

Adult Days Theme Reflection and Artwork

“Embrace Grace”, the theme of the 2023 Religious Education Congress, is an invitation to experience God’s unconditional acceptance, deep nourishment and transformative power in our hearts, our minds, and in our actions.   Not only does our Lenten journey begin the weekend of RECongress, but we have also been invited by the United States Conference of Bishop’s to a Eucharistic revival who’s mission it is to rekindle in each one of us, a living relationship with Jesus profoundly experienced in the Eucharist.  

What a beautiful opportunity to reflect on the experience of the power of God’s Grace given to each of us in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, which makes us all brothers and sisters. The Eucharist is inclusive, and no one leaves hungry! “We can evaluate our Eucharistic Adoration when we take care of our neighbor like Jesus does” (Pope Francis’ homily on the Feast of Corpus Christi).

Throughout the weekend we will offer focused workshops on the Eucharist, and as is always a hallmark of the weekend, we will provide Eucharistic liturgies that celebrate the multitude of

cultures that make up the body of Christ in Los Angeles, the nation, and the world. “How much more abundance of grace we will receive” (Cf. Romans 5:17) during this weekend! We invite you to participate in this year’s Religious Education Congress to continue deepening in this invitation to Embrace Grace to become this Eucharistic love for our aching world!

Mother Teresa - Do it Anyway

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. 

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. 

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. 

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. 

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. 

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. 

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. 

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. 

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. 

*This poem was found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta.

PROFESSION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

The name Jesus means "God saves". The child born of the Virgin Mary is called Jesus, "for he will save his people from their sins" (Mt 1:21): "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

The title "Christ" means "Anointed One" (Messiah). Jesus is the Christ, for "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power" (Acts 10:38). He was the one "who is to come" (Lk 7:19), the object of "the hope of Israel" (Acts 28:20).

The title "Son of God" signifies the unique and eternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the only Son of the Father (cf. Jn 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18); he is God himself (cf. Jn 1:1). To be a Christian, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (cf. Acts 8:37; 1 Jn 2:23).

The title "Lord" indicates divine sovereignty. To confess or invoke Jesus as Lord is to believe in his divinity. "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit'" (1 Cor 12:3).

Catechism of the Catholic Church

Benediction Prayer

May the Lord bless you and keep you;

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
