Your directors for this retreat,Turning Pain Into Power, are Jesuit priest-poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and abbess Hildegard of Bingen. Hopkins, a profound appreciator of life, suffered frequent bouts of melancholia and depression. Without benefit of worldy success for his poetry, the consolation of family life or the elation of fully investing his gifts, Hopkins remained hopeful, often cheerful and ever faithful to Christ. Hildegard, gifted with visions since childhood, recorded her wisdom, guiding readers through the mysteries of the Bible, the complexities of the moral life and the narrow gate into the kingdom. She became prophet, teacher, preacher and diplomat. Like Hopkins, she produced poetry and also music, medical and herbal guides, and scientific writings.
