Susan J. Stabile

This retreat invites us to walk with Jesus in his suffering, and, by so doing, to get more deeply in touch with our desires and longings, our temptations and weaknesses…and our strengths.  Along the way, we will learn both from Jesus and from the experience of those who journeyed with him during his most difficult times, deepening both our experience of God’s love and our acceptance of God’s invitation to be that love in the world.
