Here is a reflective journal that opens your heart and mind to the Spirit. No simplified questions that ask for Pat answers. Tetlow sends you on a search of your own heart and your response to Gods searching for you.

5 Becoming an Easter People
Posted by Doreen Zankowski on Apr 15th 2025
“Becoming an Easter People” by Father Joseph Tetlow, S.J., is a wonderful resource to take you through a 12 week retreat of prayer, reflection, and understanding of what “Easter People” truly means. The daily/weekly writings and the workbook space to reflect on what you have read, learned and spiritually feel, is very useful and supportive of your retreat journey. Grace, love, belief and God’s commands are central to the core of the retreat. Joy is key. You always begin discernment by asking the Lord to let you stand with HIm and do the Father’s will. Oh, how true. “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of faith is see what you believe.” Such a wonderful book, and the journey it takes you on. Father Tetlow, a Boston College Jesuit professor, has hit a grand slam with this 12 week Ignatian retreat for everyday life!!!!

A wonderful read to pray and meditate during this Lenten and Easter season. Fr Tetlow SJ once again speaks to the heart of God's Word, as how St Ignatius converts the mind & heart to Jesus.

The latest retreat follows the same format as the 12 week Manresa retreat providing new reading, meditation through prayer, contemplation through reflection and time shared with God. 12 weeks of daily spiritual practice is the perfect term to grow with strength in heart and soul.

5 Great materials and some excellent changes in format
Posted by Janet on Apr 2nd 2025
I truly admire the works of Mr. Tetlow, and of the Jesuit Resources Center. These materials are very timely, exactly what I needed at this time. I love the minor shift in the way they pages are set up, makes it much clearer for me to know exactly what goes together. Thank you. The day by day progression is most helpful, and doing a retreat in real life makes this twelve week program possible for anyone. I highly recommend this retreat for a group or an individual.
