Music Retreat Gives Students Time to Pause, Reflect and Connect
On Wednesday, October 28, a group of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors spent the day at the Jesuit Retreat Center for the Music Retreat. Just like the Psalmists of the Old Testament, students wrote psalms of thanksgiving, lament, praise and wisdom to express moments of joy and sorrow in our lives.
Some of the students set their psalms to music while others gave their psalms to me to file away until the second semester of their senior year. They will read them again during the Senior Day of Reflection and reflect on how much they've grown. The group also spent some time singing together. The day concluded with a prayer service that included a SJA favorite song, "10,000 Reasons."
