Every year I take time for 7 days to do my annual retreat. In this year I went to Huijbergen that locates around 3 km from Belgium border. It was lucky for me that the convent of "Broeders van Huijbergen" - Ste. Marie, Boomstraat 7 - 4635 CX Huijbergen was available for this kind of activity. For me the surrounding and the nature are very proper for supporting the process of my retreat. I heard the people sometimes come here for one day or three days for deepening or just to feel the atmosphere of the convent, or for reflection. I can experience the quiet place and the beautiful garden and the nature in surrounding the convent. Behind the convent there is a small forest that called "St. Theresia Liseux", where the people can enjoy the greeny atmosphere. The village is small and has a comfortable area for walking or cycling route. It is far from the crowded. The most helpful thing for me that every day I can join the prayer services and 
Eucharistic celebration together with the Broeders in their chapel. This year I also can fell the atmosphere of St. Fransiscus.
I hope my spiritual journey of my life can strengthen my vocation and mission life as Sisters of Our Lady, wherever I am called for His mission.
