I am just back from my annual retreat. It was a marvelous one. The location was very fitting for retreat…top of the mountain, far away from the noise of the city life. Living in the centre of Rome for the last three months, I was missing trees, flowers, birds…NATURE. This retreat gave me an opportunity to be in the midst of all.
I made my last retreat before entering into Europe more than a year ago. Then life has taken many shapes…many ups-downs, many surprises, and many failures. This retreat provided me with an ample opportunity to pause for a while, to take a stock of my life. Frankly speaking I was feeling the need for a pause.
Yes I made it. I took enough rest. I reflected over my life, my vocation, my future mission…different people, different incidents, different encounters. I thank HIM who made all these possible.
Finally what I enjoyed most was silence. I spent 8 days almost not talking with anyone. Only time I spoke was when I had to meet my retreat guide. Rest of the time I was being in the silence…I enjoyed silence…I experienced silence…I loved silence…
