Every year, communities across the province, "France Is Sparkling" organize a retreat to the sanctuary Our Lady of Mount Roland in the Jura. In 2010, this retreat was held Saturday 23 October to Tuesday, October 26. They were 83, including 34 people with a disability. As usual, I get a lively account of these beautiful days and I'm happy to share it with you because you certainly know how important I find that these retreats have been held in the provinces. .. then if that can give you ideas, great!
I leave Raymonde Mouro (helped by Christine, Christine and Marie-Therese) tell you these four days
For four days, we formed a community of prayer, full of life, friendship and joy.
With Father Bruno Hayet of Reims and Langres Father Benedict Sepulchre, we "rediscover "The g AIN Christian prayers.
Saturday: we are invited to pass through the narrow gate well materialized, to seize the key, which illustrates the book of songs to help us enter into prayer . Like Jesus, we pray to God to be in relationship with him and feel his presence. It is our gift from the fruit of his word which, to be tasted, must be shared: as the two nuts that we receive.
The first prayer is " Hail Mary. " The first symbol brought the book of the Word "Mary meditates on the word and gives flesh to the verb." 
What place Mary in our lives? She is our mother, our guide, it is self-sacrifice, mediator, she watches over us.
For the evening vigil, in small groups, with the deacons of the Diocese of Langres, we exchange to illustrate one of the Litany to the Virgin: "Mystical Rose", "source of joy ... The drawings of the twelve small groups are a beautiful rose with central image of Mary. This beautiful stained glass adorns the Next day the church sanctuary where we celebrate Mass. Bishop Dalloz around celebrating his 80th birthday surrounded by family and friends and with Bishop GUENELEY, bishop of Langres, together with the deacons of his diocese.
Sunday: education focuses on " Glory to God " , prayer of praise of the shepherds. The symbol of the day is a lamp which diffuses a "light as the fragile peace, which asks only illuminate, to warm and inviting us in praise and wonder. "
Angels bring God's peace, peace that does not have, which is a gift to share.
is the shepherds, the smallest of the earth, the angels come to reveal the birth of Jesus. It is this property that is mimicked in the evening during which the achievements are also presented the activities of the afternoon, dance, music, ikebana, beads, stained glass, drawings ...
Monday: is Jesus who teaches us to pray with " Our Father " . We acknowledge paternity and abundance of God's gift that nourishes us with his bread and his word: a nice loaf of bread is made.
Everyone makes a bun, decorates. It is then cooked and shared and enjoyed the evening meal.
How this prayer we change it? Be sensitive to the seven applications, three of which are addressed to God and four that are more personal. God is gracious and merciful, he understands our weaknesses, he knows us and loves us as his children. We are led gently to the sacrament of reconciliation: "Forgive us our trespasses", "deliver us from evil."
During the vigil, we gestuons the Our Father and then we listen to the testimony of Claire Festival Let's Be Different: "Daring to be different! "July 2010 Jambville.
Tuesday: is the Apostles' Creed, " I believe in God " . We bring a great pitcher filled with water sign of our baptism. We approach the mystery of the Trinity: God the Father who gives in his creation, through his son Jesus, who dwells in us by the Holy Spirit unites us all in church. It this God, source of our faith, our whole body, with all our heart and all our mind leads us to do even greater things than we do.
With silent prayer each morning, praying together in preparing her body, her heart and mind with Teresa of Avila, the daily Eucharist, meals, parties, songs and music so well animated by Emmanuel, Jean-Marie Jean-Baptiste, Jeremy and Stephen, we felt all children of one Father.
Happy shares in small groups, individual meetings, we start with a diptych we have achieved by sticking a daily prayer is given and blessed. Then, enthusiastic, we are sent to our brothers as messengers of joy.
