Welcoming Sister Death
July 10, 2026 | Retreats
We tend to forget or ignore the fact that one day we will die, preferring instead to focus on living our life as best we can now. But what if we were to take the plunge and turn to face the reality of our death?
Based on Sr. Antonia’s book Dying to Die we will be doing some gentle opening up of the issue of facing our dying. With some personal sharing from Sr. Antonia and the help of St. Benedict we will gently reflect on how each of us might be able to prepare for our dying. What might the journey look like? Journal work will form an integral part of the weekend.
