"I invite you in these seven days to 'step out on the word of God,' walking the Way with Jesus, the human face of our faithful God. Begin by telling God your own story, placing whatever burdens you bring in God's gracious care. Ask God to open your eyes in the retelling of the Scriptures to the meaning they hold for your journey. Allow God's love in Jesus to surround you and set your heart on fire. Let God fill you with desire to share that word to bring hope to others."—From "Day One"

In this seven-day retreat, Stepping Out on the Word of God, your director is Luke the Evangelist, author of the third Gospel. You are invited to "step out on the Word of God," allowing the courage the Good News inspires to carry you throughout the tasks of your life. Leaning particularly on the experiences of the women of the Gospels (more prevalent in Luke than in any other), this retreat weaves their stories into a welcome for those who wish to find what Jesus offers.
