Called To Be Living Chalices

At every celebration of the Eucharist at which we preside, we take the chalice in our hands, holding, lifting, and offering its contents.  In many ways, the chalice embodies our vocation as priests. 

Through scripture, art, reflection and dialogue, our retreat will invite and challenge participants to imagine ourselves as a “Living Chalice.”  Like the sacred chalice we raise and minister, which holds the Blood of Christ at each Eucharist, we too are Anointed, Open to Receive, and Emptied in Service.

The Liturgy: A Priest's Perspective

At the center of our lives is the responsibility and privilege of celebrating the Eucharist with and for the People of God.  Each of these Liturgies individually as well as cumulatively give us as priests a wealth of experience we may not have fully harvested.  This retreat will be an opportunity for us to enrich one another by exploring and learning from our deeply personal encounters with God and our People in the Liturgies we celebrate.  We will do so for the sake of our people, whom we serve, and for each of us as priest-celebrants so we all can enter more deeply into the Mystery that continually seeks to reveal more of Itself at each of our Liturgies.
