This retreat series (A retreat with…) offers you the opportunity to make a retreat with some great saint or holy person from history. Among the retreat directors you will find such saints as Ignatius and Dominic, Francis and Clare of Assisi, and outstanding contemporary figures such as Thomas Merton and Jessica Powers. Under the guidance of series editor Gloria Hutchinson, some favourite authors weave the mentor’s own words into seven days of prayer and deepening acquaintance. Each retreat closes with suggestions for continuing the relationship.

Your directors for this retreat in this book, Befriending Each Other in God, are Francis de Sales, Jane de Chantal, and Aelred of Rievaulx.

With Francis, Jane and Aelred, you will explore the dynamics and texture of the spiritual friendships so essential to becoming more open to God and helping you become who you want to be.
