So our ancestors in the Church came up with a code word to refer to those who shared the faith: they called each other \u201cfellow pilgrims.\u201d It\u2019s a good phrase, an accurate one. As Christians, we know that our life on earth is a purposeful journey guided by God\u2019s providence. This journey takes us through many stages, many seasons of spiritual growth that the Lord uses to prepare us for our final destination: the Father\u2019s house in heaven. This Retreat Guide will show us how this pilgrimage truly works.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>First Meditation<\/strong> will explore the springtimes of our Christian journey.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>Second Meditation<\/strong> will explore its summers.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>\u00a0And the <strong>Conference<\/strong> will examine its autumns and winters: Those times of painful transition sometimes referred to as the dark night of the soul.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>The Personal Questionnaire\/Group discussion questions are available in the Companion Guide Book or Small Group Companion Guide.
