SUMMARY:EDITH STEIN: Her Journey from Darkness into Light *CANCELLED*
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we reflect on the life and times of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross\, a brilliant philosopher and poet\, a mystic and searcher of the truth\, and a Jew — a daughter of Israel.  Her encounter with the cross in the life of a Christian friend sparked an inner transformation that led to her baptism into the Catholic faith.  Her reading of the life of Teresa of Avila brought her to the door of the Cologne Carmel\, where she began her contemplative journey as a Carmelite nun.  Her Jewish identity and her Catholic faith collided with the oppressive Nazi regime and led to her martyrdom at Auschwitz. \n  \nPresenter:  FR. JOSEPH BRENNAN OSB has been a monk of Valyermo since 1994 after having served as a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for over 20 years. He is a spiritual director at the Cardinal Manning House of Prayer for priests in Los Angeles as well as St. Andrew’s Sub-Prior. \n  \n*WE WILL RESCHEDULE THE RETREAT FOR AUGUST 2026.* Look out for the retreat once the calendar 2026 is published.

SUMMARY:ÁNGELES Y DEMONIOS
DESCRIPTION:Los ángeles son seres reales y espirituales que existen como mensajeros y siervos de Dios. Este retiro proporcionará una visión general de la angelología\, mientras analiza los escritos y las enseñanzas de Santo Tomás de Aquino\, la Tradición de la Iglesia y las Escrituras para “dar cuerpo” a estos misteriosos seres de intelecto puro. Utilizando el formato de pregunta/respuesta del libro del Dr. Peter Kreeft “Ángeles (y demonios) – ¿Qué sabemos realmente sobre ellos?”\, intentaremos responder muchas preguntas sobre el tema\, que van desde “¿Conocen los ángeles nuestros pensamientos secretos?” a “¿Por qué un buen ángel elegiría convertirse en demonio?” Este es un tema importante en nuestra creencia cristiana ya que la existencia de los ángeles es un dogma de la fe católica. \n  \nPresentador:  P. ANGELUS ECHEVERRY OSB\, es monje de Valyermo desde 2011. Tiene una Maestría en Composición de Música Clásica y actualmente es Organista y Maestro de Coro. Tiene un profundo amor por lo que llama “Las cuatro ‘Emes’ de mi vida”: la Música\, la vida Mística\, el Santo Misterio que llamamos Trinidad y María\, la Santísima Virgen\, Madre de Dios. Para escuchar al Música de P. Angelus\, visite: www.angelusecheverry.com \n  \n*Si el evento figura como agotado\, llámenos al 661-944-2178 para consultar la disponibilidad en tiempo real y una lista de espera.
