A Light Shining in the Darkness: An Ignatian Online Christmas Retreat

2020 has been a particularly difficult year for everyone as we faced Covid 19, lockdowns and job losses. Where is the light in the darkness? Jesus, the light who is coming into the world, is waiting to enter our hearts and celebrations this year.

Are you looking for a special way to contemplate the light of the Christ child this Christmas season?  Would you like an opportunity to pray with your family or church group? Sometimes the joys of the holiday season, the preparations and hospitality can distract us. This online retreat from the comfort of your home could help you refocus your thoughts and prayers on the meaning of the light that Jesus brings into our world.

Join A Light Shining in the Darkness ten-day Christmas retreat. You will pray with a biblical passage from December 24th to January 2nd. Each day you will receive a format and a reflection for your morning or evening prayers.

A Light Shining in the Darkness is a gift to you from the faculty, students and staff of the Oblate School of Theology. To register, submit the online form below. When you sign up for this free retreat, you will receive an email every morning during the Christmas season. It will contain a link to the online retreat session of that day.


The Institute for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality (ISCS) at Oblate School of Theology serves as an international center of study to connect the contemporary quest for spirituality with the deep wells of the Christian tradition. ISCS is the only concentrated, integrative program of its kind in the United States offering ATS-accredited PhD, DMin, and MA degrees in Contemporary Spirituality, as well as Ignatian Spiritual Director Certification.
