Lord, Teach Us to Pray: The Aramaic Prayer of Jesus

April 10, 2026 | Retreats

In this contemplative retreat we return to the very words Jesus spoke as we explore the Lord’s Prayer in its original Aramaic, uncovering layers of meaning often lost in translation.

Discover the intimacy of “Abba,” the urgency of daily bread, and the power of forgiveness as Jesus first taught them. Through guided reflection and prayer, experience this most familiar prayer as if for the first time—allowing its ancient rhythms to reshape your own conversation with God.
