The Woman at the Well


  • Benet House Retreat Center 2200 88th Avenue West Rock Island, IL, 61201 United States (map)

24 Hours with John 4:1-42

 “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.  Indeed, the water I give you will become in you a spring of water welling up to eternal life.  Jn: 413-14

The Gospel of the Woman at the Well is a powerful story of acceptance, friendship with Jesus, and transformation. This retreat will provide time to reflect on this parable and how it integrates with our lives. We all have ‘God-shaped holes’ in our hearts that only God can fill. This weekend retreat is an opportunity to ‘be filled at the Well’ with Jesus. Come and experience how an ordinary cup we use daily can be the vessel of a sacred connection with God. Bring your favorite cup. The retreat includes time for input, reflection, journaling, and quiet.
