A Virtual Retreat with Cardinal Seán: Christ, Our Light in the Darkness

The words of a dying man are always remembered by his friends and family. Join Cardinal Seán to remember these last words Jesus spoke on the cross — to God the Father, to the criminal beside him, to his beloved disciple, to his mother, and to us. It is on the cross that Jesus preaches his greatest sermon of love.

Reflection Questions
  1. Do you hold Jesus' last words dearly like a loved one's final words?
  2. Do you feel like God has abandoned you during this difficult time? If so, how? Cry out to him like Jesus did.
  3. What do you feel you have left "undone"? How can you be ready to say, "It is finished"?

What is A Virtual Retreat with Cardinal Seán: Christ, Our Light in the Darkness?

We will remember this Lent as one “in quarantine.” Social distancing the new norm as daily social interactions are suddenly unavailable to us. Schools are closed. We can’t go out to restaurants. Even public Mass has been suspended to curtail any further spread of this coronavirus. Many people feel alone. Many are scared. And people are thirsting for something good.

The Lord appoints shepherds to lead his flock, to be beacons of light in darkness, and to be instruments of hope to his people in times of despair. This Virtual Lenten Retreat with Cardinal Seán is a means for our shepherd to feed us, to comfort us, and to give us the hope we need right now.

Join Cardinal Seán on this six-part retreat, using this opportunity to enter more deeply into Lent and grow in your relationship with Christ.
