Lovers of God on the lap of Mother Nature

Ryshivana, 21 Oct 2018:
The desire to experience the love of God in his beautiful creation brought the Bishop of Shimoga Rt. Rev. Dr. Francis Serrao and his thirty six priests of the Diocese to spend five days in prayer and reflection in Ryshivana from 7 – 13 October 2018. Rev. Fr. Derrick OFMCap was the resource person who helped them with his reflections to deepen their commitment to the Lord in their pastoral service to God’s people. As all who enter this holy and quiet place are led into inner silence and contemplation so also the retreatans maintained deep solitude and enjoyed God’s communication through his gorgeous creation displayed at the merging of Netravati river into Arabian sea.

The sisters of St. Ann of Providence of the Province of Mangalore fascinated with the scenic beauty at Ryshivana arrived on 14 Oct to do their annual retreat for six days. Rev. Fr. Alvito Fernandes OCD preached the contemplative retreat to thirty five of them. It was indeed a blessing to Ryshivana to have the presence of so many priests and nuns spending time in prayer and contemplation.
