January - August 2010
The Houston Cenacle 's programs are divided into "Ongoing Programs", "Series", and "Retreats, Workshops and Days of Prayer". You will find "Ongoing Programs" in alphabetical order. Both "Series" and "Retreats, Workshops and Days of Prayer" are listed in chronological order. Enjoy perusing these wonderful ministries and prayerfully consider the ones that were planned just for you.
Because the Cenacle wishes to remain available to serve you and your loved ones, I need to share with you the economic realities that have affected us in recent years. You will notice that we have had to raise the minimum offerings for all of our spiritual opportunities. The rising cost of food, housing, maintenance, energy and safety has affected the Cenacle as well as everyone else. Also, because our overnight programs depend on knowing in advance how many people will attend, we are encouraging early registration through a lower “minimum offering” for those who register BEFORE a certain deadline. A higher offering is incurred by those who register AFTER a certain deadline. (Details are contained in the write-up of each program where this is true.)
The entire Cenacle family-Sisters, employees, spiritual direction staff and volunteers-is grateful for your continued support. Your presence, your prayers, your talents and your financial gifts are blessings to us. Be assured of our prayers for you and your loved ones.
In Christ’s peace,
Sr. Mary Guido, rc
Local Leader, Cenacle Sisters and Ministry Coordinator

Silent Pre-Lenten Retreat
Discipleship and the Paschal Mystery:
“If we endure with him, we shall reign with him”
Rev. Jerome Neyrey, SJ
7 p.m. Friday - 2 p.m. Sunday
What better way to begin a Lenten journey than to consult the map of the Gospels which narrates the last weeks of Jesus’ life. We learn the goal of walking his “way” and precisely how to “walk the walk,” and not just to “talk the talk.” On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus teaches his “way” of acting, thinking and valuing. He not only exhorts his disciples how to pray various types of prayer, but more importantly he models prayer for them. All actions toward Jesus in the Passion Narrative were forms of ridicule, contempt, taunt and shame. Finally, all of the final chapters of each gospel proclaim that “God vindicated this Jesus, whom you shamed and dishonored.” The reflections at this retreat will provide a clear orientation on how to travel with Jesus in Lent.

The Deeper Secrets Inside the Gospels:
The Challenge to a More Adult Discipleship
Rev. Ronald Rolheiser, OMI
7 p.m. Friday - 2 p.m. Sunday
As we grow in life, Jesus calls us to an ever-deeper discipleship. One size doesn't fit everyone. The invitations that come to us from Jesus grow deeper and deeper. There is a difference between getting our lives together and giving our lives away, between essential conversion and deeper growth. What are the deeper invitations within the Gospels? How can we be more generative as adults and as Christians? A challenge towards a greater maturity and greater depth.

Lenten Day of Prayer
Who’s Pushing Your Buttons?
Rev. John Morfin
9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Jesus died to obtain for us the freedom of the children of God. Yet many of us have surrendered that freedom to other persons and to attachment to stuff. We make victims of ourselves when we base our happiness on persons or things over which we have no control. Some of us habitually hand over our control in hidden or convoluted ways. This day of prayer will focus on revealing these personal traps and identifying what psychologists call our Locus of Control.

9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Did Your God Grow Up? Healing Our Image of God
Rev. Matt Linn, SJ
7 p.m. Friday - 2 p.m. Sunday
The psychiatrist Carl Jung said that after age 35 almost any crisis is at bottom a spiritual crisis that is solved only when we discover a deeper relationship with God. The 12 step spirituality also knows that the deepest crises where we find ourselves powerless are resolved only by surrendering to the Higher Power. But surrender to God is impossible if we were hurt and have unhealed wounds from being powerless. This retreat will help heal the wounds that prevent us from discovering and trusting the God of Life. We will discover how we reacted to shameful hurts in our childhood and how we might still be reacting to God when we feel shamed or inadequate. Then we can find the mature faith of an adult that empowers us to grow in deeper intimacy, caring for others and grateful for all of life.

Fan into Flame the Gift of God in You (2 Tim 1:6)
Rev. Clement Kanu, MSP
7 p.m. Friday - 2 p.m. Sunday
Scripture stories of women (e.g., Esther, Prisca and the Blessed Virgin Mary) show us that womanhood has been blessed with inherent God-given potentials and qualities that if put to use could be a fountain for the transformation of the world. Unfortunately, for many these gifts lie dormant or are hidden in the ground and are never actualized. This retreat is designed to help the participants reflect and discover their divine gifts and become more energized to use them to bring a positive change in their lives and in the lives of others.

Who Is this God You Pray to?
Exploring our developing sense of who God is for us
Sr. Roselle Haas, rc
7 p.m. Friday - 2 p.m. Sunday
Where did you get your ideas about God? How do those ideas influence the possibilities for your relationship with God? Do you have any images of God that may interfere with developing a deep relationship with God? This retreat will explore these and similar questions. The reflections will help participants to look at any images of God absorbed through upbringing and culture, which may hinder a deep and personal relationship with the Divine and the fullness of life. In addition we will look how God desires to meet us in our daily experience, how God surprises us and how God is always beyond our imagination.
Minimum Offering: $185 includes overnight accommodations and 5 meals
After May 28: $210
