On the Way with Jesus the Divine Word - Retreat in Everyday Life
Available in .pdf

This book presents a practical guide for a “retreat in everyday life” centered on walking with Jesus, the Divine Word. Inspired by the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the missionary charism of the Arnoldus Family (especially the Society of the Divine Word), it proposes a structured path of spiritual renewal that can be lived within ordinary daily responsibilities.

The program unfolds over several weeks and invites participants to deepen their relationship with Christ through daily prayer, meditation on Scripture, reflection on personal experience, and communal sharing. It encourages attentive listening to God’s Word, discernment in daily life, and a gradual integration of prayer with mission and service.

The book offers practical tools for this journey: guidance for Scripture meditation (including lectio divina), daily examination of life, desert days for deeper silence, and methods for spiritual reflection and evaluation. It also highlights the importance of community support and apostolic commitment as fruits of authentic prayer.

Ultimately, the text aims to help believers experience renewal by allowing the Word of God to illuminate everyday life, leading to a deeper union with Christ and a more conscious participation in God’s mission in the world.
