Feedback from "Christ's Ambassadors" Spiritual Formation Retreat

William Gaultiere, Ph.D.

 

"This retreat,we went on was very special and I’m so so blessed to have been apart of it! God is so wonderful to me and I must always remember to have calmness and share with God everything that I do.  THANK YOU Dr. Bill for your wisdom and your caring heart and how you are so willing to share that with me and our group."

"The retreat help me grow closer to the Lord by giving me the time and a spiritual environment to let me focus entirely and completely on our Lord with no distractions or outside obligations."

"My favorite parts of the retreat were the two hours of silence I spent in prayer at the Abbey's beautiful, stained glass chapel. The peace of that time brought me closer to Christ and my family... I felt the comfort of Christ surround me in that solitude."

"I loved the church services we attended and the chanting. I loved the peace and tranquility of being at the abbey and being totally immersed in a God centered and Christ centered setting. Being able to share with one another was very meaningful and beneficial for me. And going through the stations of the cross was deeply impacting on my mind and heart."

"The quiet, calm surroundings at the Abbey allowed me time focus on the one objective I wanted to accomplish while I was there: To practice praying with a deeper and richer spirituality.  I prayed almost continuously the whole time I was there and connected at a deeper level with the Lord.  I was at peace and felt a strength of spirituality I hadn't felt before."
