Advent is a time of promise! Join St. Francis Center for Renewal for a special women’s overnight retreat exploring the doors that await us as we prepare for this time of promise. We will seek and find the doors that call us to open our hearts and that are knocking at our souls. As Jan Richardson write, “You have looked at so many doors with longing, wondering if your life lay on the other side. For today, choose that door that opens to the inside. Travel the most ancient way of all: The path that leads you to the center of life.” We will follow where God leads, not with certainty, but rather to be present where we are. This is the place our God is waiting to meet us; waiting to show us the doors that will incarnate his promise to us.
