Eucharistic Revival Conference
Consuming Love: The Eucharist and the Song of Songs
Fr. Greg Cleveland, OMV, Author and Director
November 11-12, 2022, Lanteri Center for Ignatian Spirituality
Friday 7:00—8:30 PM, Saturday, 9:00 AM—2:30 PM.
Fr. Greg likens the Eucharist to marriage in the Song of Songs as both are signs of the one deep and mystical reality, the union of Christ and his Church.
The Eucharistic banquet is the wedding feast of the Lamb. Our union with Jesus in the Eucharist is most truly and fully a marriage which transcends marriage on a human level since God is divine and we as humans are “divinized” by his grace. Since the Eucharist is a wedding feast, the Song of Songs, which portrays a Bridegroom King and his bride queen on their wedding day, becomes the perfect language of love to describe our bond with Christ our Bridegroom.
Conferences:
A Kiss Means So Much More
The Medicine of Immortality
Faint with Love
Death as Gain
Traversing Heaven and Earth
The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux
Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV
Saturday/Sunday, January 28-29, 2023
9:00 AM—3:00 PM
Fr. Gallagher explains the importance of St Therese of Lisieux, who Pope St. Pius X called the most important saint of the 20th century. He discusses the significance of her “letters” in revealing aspects of the saint and her relationships. Fr. Gallagher notices the “other centeredness” of Therese’s letters. He also sets into context the age and culture of France and how it touched the lives of the Martin family.
Conferences:
The Charism of Wisdom and the Little Acts of Love
Joy and Gratitude
The Ordinary Quality of St. Therese’s Holiness
The Complete Conversion Grace
The Passion of St. Therese
Casting Flowers

If you have made retreats before, come for deeper growth and personal restoration. These retreats include a daily meeting with a spiritual director to discuss your prayer and experience in a beautiful retreat setting near Denver.
