If a weekend retreat can not find space in your busy schedule, try skipping and offering your lunch hour to Jesus and just walk the Via Delorosa or simply sit among the olive trees and feel the loneliness that Christ felt on his last evening before his crucifixion. Rest assured that you will never be the same.
A way of the cross along one of the back hilly pathways allows you to carry your own wooden cross as Jesus did, and walk along the stations as you pray the reflections prepared by 14 individual priests and religious! In addition, you will be stepping on stones from Mount Krezievac, gathered along the 14 stations of the cross at Medjugorje. What a profound way of walking and carrying your own wooden cross as Jesus did.
Meditate on the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorius, and Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary around the vast fully landscaped grounds, framed by the San Gabriel mountains, the lights of the valley down below and the skies above. They are individually lighted so that if you're staying overnight, darkness does not hamper you from absorbing the entirety and fullness of your retreat.
The Mission is such a place that as you pray, the silence in the air makes your heartbeats rise so loudly above the din, that nothing can get in between your hearts' yearnings and God. If at all, the greatest of disturbances would be the sounds of humming birds and butterflies.
