Led by:  Fr. Lewis Fiorelli 

This retreat will include reflections on the seven fundamental themes of Salesian spirituality:

1. God is Love
2. Living in God’s Presence
3. Holiness and Daily Life
4. Union with God in Heart, Will, and Daily Life
5. Living from the Heart
6. The Little Virtues
7. When Prayer Becomes Difficult.

Using his book, "Inspired Common Sense," Fr. Fiorelli will guide us in infusing these themes into our daily lives. 

"In this short booklet, Father Fiorelli masterfully articulates the basics for this everyday, practical spirituality. You may be surprised at just how much sense it makes -- inspired common sense."  -John Graden, OSFS
