The Jesuit Institute is offering this online week of guided prayer for those who have been affected by clergy abuse in the Church. Whether you have been affected directly or indirectly by this issue, this week will offer you a safe space to prayerfully reflect on and explore your relationship with God as you are experiencing it in your life just now.

For this week of guided prayer, you will be individually guided. During the week, we will invite you to:

• spend 30 minutes in personal prayer each day

• have up to 45 minutes of confidential, one-to-one conversation with a spiritual director about your prayer, online and at a time that suits you.

There will be an experienced team of spiritual directors working on this retreat, both priests and lay people, men and women. They have experience in spiritual accompaniment, including backgrounds in psychology and psychotherapy, and understand the sensitivity of this subject.

There is no charge for this retreat.

If you are interested in taking part but would like to talk to someone first, please contact Sarah Young (syoung@jesuit.org.uk) and she will connect you with a member of the team for an informal conversation, so you can ask questions and decide whether the retreat feels right for you.
