The Psalms: Our Daily Nourishment, August 21 - 24, retreat at Saint Benedict Center, Schuyler, with Brother Tobias Dammert, OSB.

We may prefer sweet baked goods on a daily basis. However, rye bread, sourdough and other choices are the more stable nourishment. We need to chew and digest! The same is true when we pray the Psalms. We do not pick and choose. In this retreat we will look at a selection of Psalms and together find out the message that applies to our daily life.  The journey may include the question, “How long Lord?” (Ps. 13) and eventually leads to “Praise the Lord in the sanctuary” (Ps. 150).

Brother Tobias, a professed monk of 50 years, serves as development director of the Benedictine Mission House and liturgist of Christ the King Priory. He holds a certificate in spiritual direction from Benedictine Peace Center in Yankton, South Dakota.

Thursday, 6:00 p.m., to Sunday after lunch.  Register now at www.StBenedictCenter.com or call (402) 352-8819.

Program fee: $80

Rooms per person, per night: single $52, double $43 (plus tax)
