In 1954 at the beginning of my life in my senior year of high school I spent three days at Manresa. My life is now entering its final years and one casual remark by a priest at this time has stayed with me in good times and critical periods of my life. That remark was that in either good or bad times God knows us and loves us inspite of some of our mistakes. Reflecting on these fifty nine years I still believe this simple sentence.

One would be hard pressed to find a better Retreat House. No zen. No yoga. No psycho-babble. Manresa presents the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, on the banks of the mile-wide Mississippi River. The day is structured. Silence is enforced. The food is phenomenol. 58 annual retreats fill up fast. (Over 6,000 men attended Manresa in 2006.) Hence, my personal experience: The prayer is "Our" Father, not "My" Father. In the silent, prayerful company of others, God waits for you. Do yourself a favor. Get on a Manresa waiting list soon.
