Lenten Retreat at Most Holy Redeemer Church Back

Lenten Retreat at Most Holy Redeemer Church

A Lenten Retreat was held at Most Holy Redeemer Church Derebail from 13 to 15 March, 2023 from 5 to 8PM. The preacher for the retreat Rev.Fr.Cyril Lobo, provided the parishioners with the wisdom of God's Word. He led the praise and worship with Mr.Francis and the choir members by his side. 

Opening the door to a more strong and intimate relationship is the goal of a spiritual retreat. Each day of the retreat was centred around a distinct subject that aided in recharging inner spiritual energies for a devoted Christian life. The first day of the retreat was based on the importance of Bible in our life. On the second day, he dwelt on the power of the Holy Spirit. On the last day of the retreat Fr.Cyril spoke about the sin of doing nothing and curses. He also discussed how prayer helps people become closer to God. He used testimonies and scriptures to illustrate his sermons. Eucharistic mass was celebrated every day followed by Holy Adoration. 

On the concluding day of the retreat, Rev.Fr.Joseph Martis expressed his gratitude to all those who had participated in the retreat and made it a fruitful one.
