Why come to The Jesus Retreat?
The beauty of The Jesus Retreat is this: it is not we who have loved Him, but He who has loved us. So, we simply come. We come to hear the cry of Jesus on the cross: I thirst. We come to hear the cry of His heart until it echoes in our own:
Let him who is thirsty come. Let him come to the water.
We come to be present to Christ in His Most Precious Body and Blood, on the altar and in His Church. These are the two simple goals: to be present to Christ and present to the heart of our brothers and sisters.
We come to be like Veronica, to have His face imprinted on the veil of our hearts so that mediocrity is no longer possible. We come to be like Mary at Bethany, spilling our treasures at His feet. We come to be like Mary, who adored the infant Jesus and treasured these things in her heart, so that our hearts too may be pierced by a sword and we may die to self and be resurrected as a unified Body.
