"On this Mountain, God Will Destroy the Veil that Veils All Peoples." Is 25:7 (Fr. Anastasius Reiser, OSB)


A retreat for religious Sisters.

In the Bible, we frequently find the images of curtain and veiling. Veiling is, therefore also part of our liturgy. Our word revelation is derived from the Latin revelatio and expresses the unveiling of the hidden and unapproachable God. Wherever God’s glory is revealed at decisive turning points in Israel's history, the theophanies necessitate also a veiling, as we see with Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:2 ff) and Elijah on Mount Horeb (1 Kings 19:13). St. Paul is blinded for a time on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3). God shows himself in secret and reveals his presence when we open ourselves toward him. In talks, in celebrating the liturgy, in meditation on Scripture, but also in music and art, we will explore this theme during the retreat.
