Welcome to A Retreat with the Gospel of Matthew! This 12-conference audio retreat series will enable you to spend prayerful time with our Lord Jesus, using Matthew's gospel. Combining prayerful reflection, outstanding biblical scholarship, and an engaging presentation style, each conference was studio-recorded by one of Now You Know Media's most beloved presenters, Fr. Felix Just, S.J., a truly exceptional biblical retreat leader. You can use this series to make your "retreat" in several different ways, according to your own preferences. Designed primarily for individuals doing their own personal prayer, you can also use these conferences in small group settings with ample opportunities for communal prayer and sharing. You can flexibly adapt this series to fit your particular schedule, going through this retreat at your own pace, either two conferences per day (one-week retreat), or one conference per day (12-day retreat), or in a more brief, concentrated retreat (three or more conferences per day). This series combines an insightful examination of Matthew's Gospel with three methods of biblical prayer––reflective meditation, imaginative contemplation, and centering prayer––to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. If you wish to grow closer to Jesus by spending some prayer time with scripture, you will cherish this series.
"Having attended bible study for years at my home parish in Calgary Canada I loved the fact that you focused on the understanding and perspective of the Jewish people of the time. Too often we do not see the significance of the teachings because we are so far removed from the listeners of our Lord's time."
