Advent etreat at Villa Loyola A STITCH IN TIME The fabrics that quilt your life Friday December 2 (7 pm) to Sunday December 4 (1 pm), Director: Fr. Philip Chircop, S.J. This retreat finds its inspiration in the human heart s longing for belonging. We all yearn to belong and be at home in our own skin, at home in the community, at home in the world and at home in the universe that hosts us. Quite often, numbed by lack of presence, focus and attention, we live a deeply fragmented and dismembered life. This way of life divides us within ourselves, thinking one thing, feeling another, and doing a third. We will thus explore a few basic stitches that can sew our lives together again into one seamless garment.
