Participants reflected on God as Creator, recognizing that everything comes from His loving hands, and were encouraged to seek His wisdom, as human understanding alone is limited. The retreat emphasized repentance, confession, and renewal of the heart, preparing participants for Easter, and highlighted the importance of living according to Scripture\u2014caring for others, being generous, trusting Jesus, and reading the Bible daily as a guide for life. The preaching reminded all that without Jesus, we can do nothing, and that strong faith in Him brings courage, peace, and purpose. Hearts were renewed, spirits uplifted, and participants left motivated to trust Jesus fully, live faithfully, serve generously, and follow God\u2019s Word in every step of life&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lenten Retreat \u2013 16\u201318 March 2026 Venue: Mother of Sorrows Church, Udupi Preacher: Rev.
