In this retreat, Fr. Speaks will offer a deeper reflection on the meaning of the Lord's Baptism in the River Jordan. Retreatants will reflect on the powerful implications that flow from it: its effect on our FOLLOWSHIP, DISCIPLESHIP and FELLOWSHIP. Jesus provides the drive and energy for us to pursue righteousness, the right way of living.
