The Feminine Genius of Queen Esther (Sharon Doran, MA)


Delve into the mesmerizing life of the orphan girl Hadassah, the beautiful, young, Jewish woman who risked her own life to become Queen Esther of Persia. This Biblical Retreat will be about this fascinating Old Testament book and its Christ-like heroine Esther, who was willing to lay down her own life for the salvation of God’s people. The book of Esther is still read on the Jewish feast of Purim around the world. Esther is a timely book for today: “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”  Esther 4:14. Esther promises to stir your soul, for you too were created and gifted with unique talents to be used in God’s Kingdom for a time such as this! Please join us. Retreat concludes with the Sacrament of Reconciliation during the hour of Divine Mercy, followed by Mass on Saturday.
