Movie Retreat
Watching a movie and prayerfully reflecting on the experience can be a spiritual discipline. Movies are a rich form of contemporary storytelling and often present metaphors about life in all its beauty and fragility. We are invited to approach movies hospitably with "eyes to see and ears to hear", even to recognise the possibility of a divine encounter as the Spirit speaks to us through a film. |
