- **Event Description**: About the Presenter:
Sister Kathleen Duffy, SSJ, Ph.D. is Professor Emerita of Physics and Director of the Institute for Religion and Science at Chestnut Hill College.

About the Retreat: The call to embrace struggle is not an act of resignation but a commitment to life in its fullness. In this retreat, we walk with Teilhard de Chardin—Jesuit, scientist, and mystic. With him, we explore the powerful imagery found in his essay, “The Spiritual Power of Matter,” consider the way he faced his life struggles, especially those related to the Church and to the World, and prayerfully reflect on their relevance to our own life experiences and present situations.

Morning and afternoon sessions provide time for prayer, input, reflection and for sharing with each other the graces of our contemplation. To aid in reflection, each participant will receive an electronic copy of the essay, “The Spiritual Power of Matter,” as well as reflection questions, scripture passages, and quotations from Teilhard’s work related to the retreat theme for the day.

For Commuters: The retreat will meet March 25-28 daily from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  Lunch will be served daily in the Motherhouse Dining Room.
