Retreat Theme

Looking Within: Discovering God's Blessings

Based on Psalm 103:1-5

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

    and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

    and forget not all his benefits.

He forgives all your sins

    and heals all your infirmities;

He redeems your life from the grave

    and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;

He satisfies you with good things,

    and your youth is renewed like an eagle
