A Time of Reflection and Renewal
From May 15th to 24th, 2024, the Rosarian Generalate and Rosarian Training Centre (RTC) in Bengaluru made their Annual Retreat, a period of deep spiritual reflection and renewal for the Rosarian communites. The retreat was led by Rev. Fr. Francis from the Society of St. Paul, Ranchi, who provided inspiring and thought-provoking guidance throughout the event.
Fr. Justin Raj CR, the Prior General of the Congregation of the Rosarians, along with Rosarian Fathers, Brothers, and Candidates in formation, participated in the retreat. The gathering offered a unique opportunity for all attendees to step away from their daily routines and engage in focused spiritual exercises.
Rev. Fr. Francis’s sermons and teachings were the cornerstone of the retreat, emphasizing the importance of deepening one’s relationship with God, the value of prayer, and the call to serve with humility and compassion. His insightful reflections encouraged participants to examine their spiritual journeys and recommit themselves to their vocations.
The retreat included daily Mass, retreat talks, special Holy Hour, and the sacrament of reconciliation, fostering an environment of spiritual growth and personal introspection. The presence of Fr. Justin Raj CR was particularly significant, as he provided leadership and encouragement to all the participants. His involvement underscored the unity and commitment within the Rosarian community.
As the retreat concluded, participants expressed a renewed sense of purpose and spiritual vigour. The teachings and experiences of the retreat will undoubtedly continue to influence their daily lives and ministries.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rev. Fr. Francis for his inspiring spiritual guidance and to all who participated, making the Annual Retreat 2024 a profound and enriching experience. May the spiritual insights gained during this time guide and strengthen the Rosarian communites in their ongoing mission.
