The Life-Giving Wounds retreat is a unique opportunity for young adult (18+) and adult children of divorce, separation, or family brokenness, to reflect intentionally on the wounds caused by their family’s breakdown, together with others who know this pain and knowledgeable, compassionate retreat leaders. With the help of God, retreat attendees learn to see how their life-draining wounds can become a life-giving mission of love for themselves, their relationships, and others.
Topics covered include:
- Faith and Our Relationship with God
- Love, Dating, and the Sacrament of Marriage
- Loneliness
- Anger and Anxiety
- False Guilt and Shame
- Forgiveness and Reconciliation
- Family Boundaries
- The Christian Meaning of Suffering
- Healing and the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist
- And More!
