This final step calls us to return—to come back home. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to different ways, but now it is time to return. The Father awaits our return with love beyond all-telling. We are invited to come home and surrender to the Father by falling into his open arms. His arms are ever open, and he keeps waiting for our return.

This step calls for renunciation. St. John of the Cross teaches that renunciation is the key to liberation. The more we practice renunciation, the deeper we go into the joy of the liberation of the children of God. Fr. Alex and Dr. Susan lead us through this conversation.

We always pray: Come, oh Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of the faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of your love. We greatly require this prayer in our lives, particularly during challenging and cold moments in our journey. These difficult times are aided and rekindled by the flame of God’s love. What is more on this step? Kindly join Fr. Alex and Dr. Susan as they explore this step.

Welcome to the fourth step, ‘Rejoice’. After coming away with the Lord for a retreat, we can only rejoice and be full of thanksgiving. Fr. Alex and Dr. Susan take us on a journey that traces a link between rejoicing, prayer, giving thanks, and gratitude. When we rejoice, we are also praying, giving thanks, and expressing gratitude. This step reminds us of Paul’s invitation: Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, rejoice. What else does it mean to rejoice? Kindly listen to this uplifting conversation.

This episode invites us to come away, pause and get refreshed. We may have treated ourselves to different things, but now the Lord wants to treat us to something different, extraordinary and more refreshing. This is a time to pause, and seek intimacy with the Lord who is present to us. Retreat is not a timeout on this pilgrimage, but one of the steps on the pilgrimage of prayer.

In this episode, our watch word is “Rejuvenate.” Whilst still guided by John of the Cross, we have many instances of when he was rejuvenated. During and after his prison experience, he was rejuvenated. This experience is seen in the light of coming out of the bitterness of the crucifixion into the joy of the resurrection. On this pilgrimage of prayer, we are looking forward to the Paschal Mystery when we will be rejuvenated by the Risen Lord.

In this series, there is a beautiful ensemble formed by the Sacred Scripture and the Sayings of Light and Love of St. John of the Cross. Fr. Alex and Susan take hold of the riches in these two holy resources to help us as we pilgrimage to God in prayer. It is consoling to hear John of the Cross say that as we search for God, God is searching for us even more than we can imagine. We seek God to be renewed and God seeks us to renew us. Both God and we are on this pilgrimage, moving towards each other. The heavenly story of the Lover and the Beloved is summed up in the renewal that brings the beloved ever closer to listening to the heartbeats of the Lover.

The Prayer to the Trinity is famous, inspiring, but always accessible. This fourth episode on Elizabeth of the Trinity shows us that the ideals for which she asks God for help are common to all Christian prayer: a longing to pray more deeply, in peace and tranquillity; to have greater intimacy with Christ; and to grow in his likeness and let him live in us fully. The Prayer also shows us a way to enter into a deep personal relationship with each of the three divine Persons and with the Trinity itself.

The Greatness of Our Vocation and Let Yourself Be Loved could well be called “letters of encouragement”. In the first, which Elizabeth addressed to a young friend in September 1906, she invites a teenage girl, full of ideals, to aim for the heights with her life – for holiness. The second letter, written for Elizabeth’s prioress the following month, is an invitation to believe that God loves us to excess, and to respond with our whole heart.
