Take and Eat, Take and Drink: Living in a ‘s’acramental World
St. Ignatius of Loyola encouraged us to find God in all things. This short retreat will invite participants to deepen their awareness of God’s presence in everyday life and recognize the ways He reaches out to us through ordinary moments. Our senses are inroads to the Divine, but we must train ourselves to slow down, pay attention, and seek the Lord as He reveals Himself through the world around us.
Each day will begin at 9:45 AM and culminate with Rosary at 3:30 PM and Mass at 4 PM. Lunch is included. A communal meal following Mass on Sept. 11 is offered for those who choose to attend.
Fr. Tom Doyle, S.J. is a native of Lima, Ohio. He earned his B.S. in Medical Technology from Marquette University in 1980 and worked for five years in the laboratory at Milwaukee Children’s Hospital before entering the Jesuits in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1985. After professing his vows in 1987, he went on to earn a pontifical licentiate in philosophy from Gonzaga University and a Master of Divinity from Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Much of Tom’s Jesuit life has been focused on secondary education, serving at both Marquette University High School and St. John’s Jesuit High School in Toledo, Ohio. He also spent four years as a priest in residence at the Cloisters on the Platte retreat center in Gretna, Nebraska. He currently serves as a student chaplain at Marquette High and is the house manager of the Arrupe House Jesuit Community near Marquette University’s campus.
