FEELING GOD
Ignatius of Loyola said, "It is not knowing much that satisfies and satiates the soul, but feeling and tasting things within.” The Feeling God course is a proposal for 18-35 year olds who want to "feel and taste" God's presence in their lives. This 5-day introductory retreat to the Exercises is based on the Word of God, spiritual direction and silence. It is suitable for students and young professionals.
