HUNGERING FOR PEACE:
A RETREAT FOR WOMEN
With Sr. Fran Ferder, FSPA, Ph. D., August 3-5, at San Damiano
Retreat. The evangelists remembered Jesus as a person
who felt an urgent longing for peace. He spoke of it o� en,
he preached it, he lived it. It was his most fervent prayer, his
last gi� to his disciples. In this retreat we will refl ect on the
biblical meanings of peace--peace in the cosmos, peace in
our rela� onships, peace in the human heart. Can you imagine
your life centered in the kind of peace that was inside
of Jesus? More info: h� p://sandamiano.org/wp-content/
