The solemnity of the Easter Triduum ceremonies allows vacillating disciples re-discover their focus in life.  The quiet participation in the mystery of Christ’s passion and resurrection strengthens the unbreakable bond of love that links the disciple to Christ.  This strengthening can empower the disciple to witness to truth, love and humility in very trying and conflictual circumstances.  Pentecost only comes after the Passion.

Ballyvaloo offers the retreatant an opportunity to relish the solemnity of these events in silence over the three days of the Triduum.  Fr. Ashley Evans S.J. will lead the retreat and offer some input each day for meditation and prayer.
