Where is Holy Weekend?
Mountains at Kilbroney
Holy Weekend happens at the Kilbroney Centre in Rostrevor. Pretty special place to Alliance Youth Works, but steeped in spiritual mystery. Slieve Bane and Slieve Dermott frame the Kilbroney Centre grounds, and these mountains inspired C.S. Lewis to craft the Narnia tales.
"The initial step for a soul to come to knowledge of God is
the contemplation of nature." Irenaeus of Lyons
"From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and the sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God."
Romans 1:20
"The power of God is present at all times, even in the tiniest leaf... God is currently and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, and in the field."
Martin Luther
"He existed before everything else began, and He holds all creation together."
Colossians 1:17
Holy Weekend reads from two books: the Word of God, which is the scriptures, and the works of God, that is creation.
