Spiritual Exercises

This retreat consists of the recordings of the Spiritual Exercises given to the RC Mission Corps Men in January of 2026.

​​

We contemplate the life and mission of Jesus, especially through the eyes of St Peter. Here was a man who experienced Jesus Christ up close in such a personal and real way, one we can all relate to. He knew love, fervour, weakness, sin, and forgiveness. 

​

This online format makes a perfect DIY Silent Retreat! This page has all you need to do your own silent retreat, at home, in adoration, or wherever you choose to do it. You'll find links to recorded meditations from the retreat preached by Fr Adam Zettel. Along with the meditations, you can download the handouts to read and reflect one. The schedule for the retreat gives the correct order of the meditations, and encourages you to watch other videos (see the links included) by Fr John Riccardo and the Chosen.

​

In order to make the most of this retreat, here are a couple helpful tips!

​

1. Find the right settings to pray in. Eliminate distractions; make sure it's quiet or that you have some good background music; put away anything around you that could distract you. Don't try to do the meditations while on the road or busy doing other things.

2. Journal: Make sure you have a journal and pen handy to take notes and write down how you are feeling, prayers, and reactions to the meditations.

3. Have a Bible handy to read and re-read the passages.

4. Reach out to the preacher! If you are doing this retreat seriously, send an email to Fr Adam, and he'll try to respond with spiritual advice. You can also request to speak to him in Spiritual Direction which is an essential part to completing the retreat. His email is azettel@legionaries.org
