Memory is a hugely significant part of who we are and also our Christian narrative. We will reflect on how Jesus approached memory by exploring key Gospel texts. Ignatius and Augustine will be our guides into a deeper understanding of memory, in terms of spiritually remembering who we are as children of God with inviolable dignity. There will be space to privately bring difficult memories to prayer for healing. And we will have fun with exercises to consider how we remember.
