Enough: Letting Go of More and Choosing What Matters

We live in a world that tells us the answer is more. More achievements, more experiences, more followers, more productivity, more success. And yet, even when life is going well, we can still feel like we're falling behind and that we're not quite enough.

This year's preached silent retreat, Enough: Letting Go of More and Choosing What Matters, invites you to step off the treadmill of more and discover the grace of enough.

We are enough because we are loved before we ever achieve anything. We are enough because even our limits can become the place where we meet God. And a meaningful life was never about keeping every option open. It comes from choosing what actually matters and giving yourself to it.

The retreat includes a series of talks by Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ, with time in between for quiet reflection and prayer. You'll also have opportunities for one-on-one spiritual conversation, Eucharistic Adoration, Reconciliation, and Mass.

The retreat is grounded in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition. It's open to students of any faith background. If you're tired of proving yourself and hungry for a freer way to live, this one's for you.

 

 

Get to know Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ!

Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ is delighted to be back at 草莓社区—this time as a Jesuit priest. He serves as a Jesuit chaplain in Campus Ministry, superior of Arrupe House, and adjunct professor in the Department of Theology. Originally from Iowa, he joined the Jesuits just after graduating from the University of Notre Dame. 

His life goals include helping people encounter God—and getting them to spell his last name with two N's.
