"I invite you to listen and change...". These were words of introduction to the annual SS.CC retreat for the brothers in Hawaii. From Sunday evening, October 23 through Friday morning, October 28, fifteen sscc brothers gathered in retreat at St. Anthony Retreat Center in Kalihi, Honolulu. The retreat was preached by Felipe Lazcano Hamilton sscc. Brothers Brian Guerrini (California) and Lusius Nimu (Indonesia) joined us on retreat.
Fr. Felipe invited us to listen to God in prayer and in silence and be open to the working of the Holy Spirit a work within us. The rhythm of each day was framed by prayer, morning prayer and adoration, breakfast, a first conference, quiet time, Eucharist and lunch. Lunch was followed by a longer time for quiet reflection, a second conference, small group discussion, evening prayer then gaudeamus and dinner.
Fr. Felipe's conferences were centered in Sacred Scripture, the SS.CC. Constitutions, the SS. CC. Rule of Life and some writings of the Good Father and Good Mother. At the end of each conference, we were provided with ample references for our prayer and questions for reflection. In the late afternoon we gathered in small groups to share our reflections.
