Retreat 2026 in the USA, Intimacy in the Dark Night

---

1^st Reflection

1^st Reflection is focused on Song of Songs 5:2-5. “Open to me” invites intimacy. This reflection reveals the intimate desire of the Bridegroom, Jesus, to become one with His bride, each of us, the Church, and how the obstacle to this intimate spousal union lies within each of our hearts.
