The Rev. Volker Futter, OSB, will present a retreat titled, How Can We Live a Balanced Life in the Midst of the Manifold Demands of Everyday Living? at Saint Benedict Center, four miles north of Schuyler, on September 17 – 20, 2020. In his Rule, St. Benedict gives us some helpful hints for how to find the right balance between prayer, work, human relationships and rest. Benedict encourages us to move from working without stopping to praying without ceasing and to the experience of God’s presence in all things.
Father Volker Futter, a Missionary Benedictine monk at Christ the King Priory, brings rich experience from pastoral ministry in numerous parishes around the country and in South Africa to his retreat work. He is the subprior and Oblate Director of Christ the King Priory.
The retreat begins on Thursday, at 6:00 p.m. and ends on Sunday after Lunch. The program fee is $80; room and board charges are additional.
