A time for Prayer!
A recollection – a sort of mini-retreat – provides an opportunity to review your life, to renew your relationship with God, and to make firm resolutions for the future. Recollections are a well-established means of deepening the spiritual life.
For many centuries, monthly recollections were a common Catholic practice in priestly and religious life. Opus Dei, which is devoted to assisting lay people answer their own call to holiness, has adapted monthly recollections to the needs of men and women living and working in the world. Opus Dei conducts various types of months recollection, which are respectively tailored to lay professionals, students and secular clergy.
What happens in a Recollection?
