JUBILEE PASTORAL RETREAT - STEFAN KOPEREK

Retreats are a special time to pause and focus on spiritual development. It is a time to listen to the word of God, reflect on one's own life, and seek a deeper meaning. This is not a vacation, but a spiritual journey into oneself.

• Silence and prayer - key elements of the retreat
• God's gift - The fruit of the retreat depends on grace, not the wisdom of the preacher
• Inspiration - Even simple words can lead to conversion and transformation
• Spirit of prayer - Experiencing the retreat in seeking the light and power of the Holy Spirit
• Spiritual support - The publication is the result of the pastoral ministry of Fr. Prof. Koperek

Retreats, if we take them seriously, require silence, prayer, and reflection. It is a time when we can detach ourselves from the hustle and bustle of the world and focus on what is truly important. The fruit of the retreat does not depend on the eloquence or titles of the preacher, but is always a gift from God. God can inspire with His grace, the gift of conversion and transformation, even after listening to simple conferences preached by an ordinary priest. It is important that the retreat leader and participants spend these days of recollection in a spirit of prayer, seeking the light and power of the Holy Spirit.
