On the last day of the silent retreats, we get up early to watch the sun rise. After 3 days of silence, watching the sun rise reminds us of the new day dawning in our lives. After a time of self-reflection and the struggles which often accompany it, we step into the resurrection occurring in our own lives, symbolised by the rising sun.
In the shadow of the cross we partake in the Eucharist and commit ourselves to living our lives to the full.
