A RETREAT FOR PRIESTS AND DEACONS
Praying with Jesus the High Priest: Emboldened for Loving Service
April 26-May 1, 2009
George Aschenbrenner, S.J.

Praying with Jesus in various scenes of his priesthood will bless us with wisdom, compassion and courage for the pastoral charity of our daily ministry. This retreat will involve presentations, times for prayer, companionship and relaxation - all aimed at renewal of our priestly identity and ministry. We will pray the Liturgy of the Hours and of Eucharist daily.

Rev. George A. Aschenbrenner, S.J. is currently serving as the Rector of the Jesuit Community at The University of Scranton. Father Aschenbrenner is a nationally known lecturer and author on topics of spirituality and religious life and is co-founder of the Institute for Priestly Formation based at Creighton University, Omaha, Neb. For many years, Father Aschenbrenner has taught a two-week course on the Spirituality of the Diocesan Priesthood for seminarians and seminary spiritual directors. Father Aschenbrenner has written two books, Quickening the Fire in Our Midst, which illuminates greatly the beautiful identity and charism of diocesan priesthood and Stretched for Greater Glory which delineates the dynamic encounter with God proposed by the Spiritual Exercises.
