Reflection: AMM Annual Retreat Day 2024

By Bianca Kallukaran, published in AMM Bulletin Spring 2024.

Exactly 4 days before the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Association of the Miraculous Medal, Sydney held its Annual Retreat Day. Elizabeth Hall (Daughters of Charity, Marsfield) dazzled in the 10 a.m. sunshine as the 20 retreatants for the day gathered to start a peaceful Sunday. Some retreatants were from the local parish of St Anthony’s, Marsfield (where the First Saturday Novena Masses are held), some from St Kevin’s Parish in Eastwood, some from Holy Spirit Parish in North Ryde and some even coming from St Joachim’s Parish in Lidcombe! Our Lady certainly gave them a beautiful welcome in this display prepared by Sr. Rosa (DC). The day started with Taize prayer that led participants into the peaceful presence of Christ and prepared them to receive Sr. Therese’s, DC talk on what it means to be a Disciple.
