With Sister Dulcissima to the depths of the heart
In Kokoszyce, at the Retreat Center of the Archdiocese of Katowice, an extraordinary retreat dedicated to the Mother of God took place. Its theme, “With Mary to the depths of the heart,” led participants into a world of prayer, reflection, and entrustment, so close to the spirituality of Sister Dulcissima Hoffmann.
Each day of the retreat was a true spiritual feast, from communal rosary prayers and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to reflections on the Word of God in a Marian spirit. In their conferences and homilies, Fr. Przemysław Krakowczyk, SAC, and Sr. Małgorzata showed how Mary accompanies us in our daily lives, leading us to Jesus and helping us to discern God’s will.
The central moment of the day was the Eucharist, celebrated with deep concentration and joy. In the silence of the retreat house, participants were able to entrust their intentions, requests, and thanks to Mary through the intercession of Sister Dulcissima.
There was also time for personal reflection and rest surrounded by nature, which was conducive to calm and encounter with God. Many participants emphasized that these retreats were a time not only of prayer but also of inner strengthening, finding peace, and renewing their relationship with Mary.
The retreat in Kokoszyce reminded us that Mary is a Mother who constantly leads us to Christ, and the figure of Sister Dulcissima is an inspiration to many on how to entrust their lives to God with simplicity and humility.
