The “Encounter of the Experience of God” Retreat was held at the Monastery of the Incarnation of the Camaldolese Benedictine Nuns in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, Brazil, from February 28 to March 5, 2025.
This retreat was coordinated by the Ribeirão Pires Local Coordination, part of the Brazil West 2 National Coordination, part of the Brazil West Zone.
Thirty-nine people were present, and the retreat was led by the Evangelizing Couple Tereza Nunes de O. Sant’Ana and Cláudio Sant’Ana.
One of the participants stated:
“I had wonderfully powerful moments. At times, I felt Jesus at my side, walking with me through the garden as if showing me his works: birds, plants, colors—so many perfect colors in nature! Everything I heard in the talks was enriching, and I want to apply it in my life; but as I learned, when I fail, apply it again, don’t give up because I failed.”
Testimony from an EEG participant:
“The prayer “Decision” reminded me of a time when I was depressed, where I felt all the symptoms of “decision.” At that time, I prayed a lot and asked God with great faith, from the depths of my soul, for salvation, for the forgiveness of all my sins. I immediately felt welcomed by the Father. In my heart, I could perceive and feel that God is always good, that He is Father, and that the Father never abandons His Son.”
