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*If the event is listed as sold out\, please call us at 661-944-2178 for real-time availability and a waiting list.

We can imprison ourselves in them and wither emotionally far too long without the transforming power of forgiveness. It is Divine Love that liberates us from resentment\, self-pity and isolation. The love that forgives opens a path to inner freedom\, allowing us to begin to live again in hope and gratitude. When we ponder such experiences\, we desire to enter more personally into the mystery for forgiveness toward others\, to become reconcilers ourselves. When the whole person – body\, mind\, and soul – engages in this endeavor\, we may become our truest self\, the person God intends us to be. \n  \nPresenter: DR. NANCY WALLIS offers spiritual companionship to individuals and groups\, and designs and leads contemplative spiritual retreats. Building on her corporate and academic careers as an organizational leadership scholar\, Nancy brings a transformational and loving spirit to the sacred cultivating of richer inner lives. Following the completion of her M.Div. degree at the Claremont School of Theology\, she undertook further study in the areas of spiritual direction and contemplative leadership at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. \n  \n*If the event is listed as sold out\, please call us at 661-944-2178 for real-time availability and a waiting list.
