Cultivating the Heart

Bishop Stephen is excited to be leading a Lenten retreat on his favourite subject: growing into maturity in Christ! The retreat will be on the weekend of Feb. 27-March 1 at the Providence Renewal Centre.

This is a retreat about the joys and challenges of spiritual growth in Christ. The time together will be an extended reflection on Jesus’ words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (Jn 8:32).” 

We know that the encounter with Jesus Christ sets us free. The Gospel is about the transformation of the human heart. However, this healing is never simple or uncomplicated. Life is hard, and people struggle. 

This retreat is not about quick fixes, but a vision of spiritual growth and maturity over your whole life. The focus will be on the art of the daily cultivation of the human heart.
