Abide in the Heart of Jesus (Ruiru)
08 September, 2025
The SDC centre of Ruiru (Kenya) held its annual weekend retreat from 5–7 September 2025 at the Mwangaza Jesuit Spirituality Centre in Nairobi. The retreat, led by the Assistant Superior General, was centered on the theme Abide in the Heart of Jesus.
It offered the SDC members and candidates an opportunity to reflect on the gift of having been given a heart shaped in the likeness of Jesus Christ. The participants were encouraged to examine their own hearts and bring them into the light of Jesus. Despite our brokenness, Jesus tenderly calls us by name, inviting us to surrender our hearts to him so he can transform them in the image of his Most Sacred Heart.
The retreat program included a penitential celebration, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and group sharing. Thanks be to God for the graces received during these days, through which he continues to strengthen the members and candidates in their journey of faith and in living out their SDC vocation.
