R.E.S.T Winter Rest in God’s Presence and Word
With Kathy Holley, PhD
January 24, 2026
St. Placid priory’s R.E.S.T. retreat invites you to slow down and encounter God through silence and Scripture.
- Meditate on God’s Word: reflect deeply on Scripture (Col. 3:16)
- Practice memorization: hide God’s Word in your heart. (Psalm 119:11)
- Be transformed by God’s Word: Renew your mind (Romans 12:2)
- Embrace God’s presence: Rest in silence, allowing God’s Word and His presence to refresh your soul. (Psalm 23:3)
Please bring your Bible and small journal (if you like), and a heart that seeks after God (Psalm 27:8). Come and deepen your practice of silent prayer time and meditating on God’s Word.
“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.” (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
We look forward to seeing you at the priory’s R.E.S.T. retreat.
