Workshops / Convivencia
Like a retreat...
Like the annual retreats, the workshop or convivencia for Cooperators provides a much-needed opportunity for spiritual renewal. It enables us to stop, step back, get perspective, pray, begin again.
Like the annual retreats, the workshop /convivencia for Cooperators includes traditional practices of Catholic piety: meditation and Holy Mass each day, Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament, family prayer of the holy rosary, and examination of conscience in the evening.
There will also be includes talks that help us to consider how we might better live our Christian vocation to holiness and apostolate in the middle of the world.
Unlike a retreat…
Unlike a retreat, the workshop / convivencia for Cooperators is sociable rather than silent (except for a morning of recollection on Sunday). It provides a welcome opportunity to get to know the other men who attend: people with many different backgrounds who share a common desire to live the spirituality of Opus Dei well.
A major component of this activity for Cooperators is serious, focused instruction in Catholic doctrine. This year, the topic for the course is a review of the Theology of Mary - Mariology
On Friday and Saturday afternoons, the schedule provides unstructured time for reading, study, exercise, taking a walk, talking with other participants, etc. Participants are asked to try, as much as possible, to avoid as much as possible using this precious time of formation for their regular professional work.
