Through the silence of this retreat, we are invited into the embrace of the Trinity and experience the Hospitality of God. Over these days we will contemplate the Rublev Icon. Henry Nouwen says: the more we look at this holy image with the eyes of faith, the more we come to realise that it is painted not as a lovely decoration for a convent church, nor as a helpful explanation for a difficult doctrine, but as a holy place to enter and stay within.
