Silent Retreat / Annual Day of Recollection
Silent Retreat
Legion of Mary | Our Lady, Spouse of the Holy Spirit
The Detroit Michigan Regia, United States of America
The concept of intentionally spending an extended period of time in silence and
prayer is almost unimaginable to a loud and busy world, but silent retreats are, and
always have been, an important part of Catholic prayer life. To get the most out of an
unstructured silent retreat it is best to fight the instinct to accomplish a list of tasks
and rather to follow wherever the Holy Spirit leads you. Maybe you will pray the
Liturgy of the Hours or the Rosary. You might reflect on scripture or spend time in
Eucharistic Adoration.
The silent retreat is held every year on the third weekend of July with the Legion of
Mary members. Guests are welcomed and encouraged to join. Spiritual leader,
retreat theme, and retreat center are variable each year.
