In Slovenia, we are blessed to have the opportunity each summer to attend the Encounter – Experience of God, held in the beautiful setting of the Capuchin Spiritual Centre in Kančevci, in the northeast of the country. This year, it took place from July 14 to 19.
Even with daily prayer and the sacraments, routine can quietly creep in, our desire for prayer may fade, and God can lose His central place in our lives. The Experience of God reminds us that life with Jesus brings freedom, peace, and strength for life’s trials.
One of the Encounter’s highlights is the Day of Reconciliation – a time to entrust our wounds and pain to God and to experience deep peace in the heart. Such moments rekindle our longing to walk with Jesus and to help transform both ourselves and the world around us in His love.
Under the unique guidance of Fr Stefan Kozuh, the Enconuter offers a precious opportunity for allowing Jesus to renew our hearts in silence. Over five days, through prayer, God’s Word, and quiet reflection, our spiritual life is strengthened and revived.
