A Silent Retreat for the Sacred Triduum
Ignatius invites us, in the course of the Exercises, to look at the Trinity's expansive Love, at the obedient Love of Jesus, and at the Love into which, and to which, each of us is called. In our pilgrimage together through the days of the Paschal Triduum, we will ask that, with Jesus, we can live entirely For the Love of God!.
