All of us strive to live out our lives with the goal of heaven.
However, have we ever really thought about the fact that Heaven starts now? Over the course of this retreat we will focus on the text titled, Heaven Starts Now: Becoming a Saint Day by Day by Fr. John Riccardo. This text will serve as a practical, spiritual guide aimed at helping us understand the meaning of holiness and how to live a life of virtue in a world that often distracts and distorts the path to God. You will discover the importance of having a plan of action. Through this retreat you will gain an understanding of the major obstacles that hinder us from attaining holiness. You will also understand the importance of the sacraments and of prayer as we strive to become saints day by day.
