Recollections

A monthly day of recollection is a time for a Christian to go deeper into his or her relationship with God.  Recollections sponsored by Charwick include a meditation given by a priest of the prelature of Opus Dei, a brief talk given by a lay woman of Opus Dei about how to live one’s faith in our busy world, time to make an examination of conscience and the opportunity for confession and Adoration and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament .  Making a day of recollection leads to a deeper understanding of one's faith, renewed spiritual focus and a stronger commitment to living a Christian life. 

Recollect yourself, seek God within you and listen to Him
