Manresa - Jesuit Centre of Spirituality |
Beautifully located in fine grounds besides St. Anne's park and overlooking Bull Island and Dublin Bay, our Centre is open to everyone who wants to take time out to nourish the spirit and find peace in God.
Basing ourselves on the wisdom of St. Ignatius Loyola, especially as found in the Spiritual Exercises, we offer retreats of all kinds, from the full thirty days to a few hours in the afternoon. We offer one-to-one accompaniment, training in spiritual direction and several programmes for those who wish to deepen their faith and prayer. We also offer courses and seminars addressing areas of topical concern, including leadership, addiction, the family and the arts. We are also happy to work with school communities and parish-based groups, as well as offering in-service training for those working in the Ignatian tradition.
Manresa offers that quiet, tranquil space necessary for an intimate encounter with Jesus in and through the Gospels. From this, many blessings proceed: a renewed sense of God's loving presence and providence in our lives, greater clarity in making important decisions, openness to new challenges in life, deeper commitment, sense of purpose, sense of mission and inner peace.
Manresa is an ideal place for people to catch their breath, take stock of their lives and hear the gentle voice of God. And that is our hope for all those who come to stay with us, from whatever denomination, tradition or belief: that they discover the living God present and active in their lives. |
