Retreat in daily life
Lent 2026
Lent is a special time to realign oneself and strengthen one’s relationship with God. We invite you to a retreat in everyday life to deepen your spirituality and grow in the experience of God’s closeness.
The retreat includes a daily biblical prayer, for which instructions are provided, a prayerful review of the day, and a weekly sharing about it.
The retreat follows the OUR FATHER, the basic Christian prayer. Bible passages are offered for daily meditation, which can deepen and illuminate the respective prayer requests of the Lord’s Prayer.
Start: Thursday, 19 February at 19:30
Weekly meetings on Thursdays at 19:30 until 26 March
Information and registration with Fr Bernd Günther SJ (bernd.guenther@chapelforeurope.eu)
