In this seven-day retreat, Living the Truth in Love, your director is Catherine of Siena, the 14th-century Italian laywoman with the strong will and staunch commitment to carry out what she thought God was directing her to do. Catherine, declared Doctor of the Church in 1970, clung to the truth, lived by the truth and sought after the truth throughout her life. With her we will meet the God whom she called “Gentle Truth,” struggle with the sin and glory of our own truth and ponder the fruits of truth—discernment, freedom and wisdom.
