- Our inspiring speaker Terry Modica, whose motto is “Keep your eyes on Jesus “, had flown in from Florida, USA, to be with us. She based her five talks on the four Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and gently led us into a deeper understanding of how each Mystery helps us to connect our lives with the life of Jesus. She explained how we can use every decade of each Mystery to identify with Jesus and so bring all our hurts and crosses, our joys, hopes and thanksgiving to Him. It is here in the Rosary that we can, with Him, birth new ideas. (More ...)
- Terry was open and honest about her own journey and her down to earth approach helped us all to see that God is calling ordinary people to live extraordinary lives through the power of His Holy Spirit, His salvation and the sacraments. Looking around the room it was evident that God was meeting each woman, whatever her age, nationality or life experience, where He knew she needed to be met. (More ...)
- Terry Modica is an amazing speaker. She came across as a very down to earth woman with a good sense of humour. She was inspiring, knowledgeable and full of love for Jesus and his mother Mary. Her focus was to give us a deeper insight into the Rosary as she explained that each mystery is a reflection of our lives! She linked each mystery and it’s meaning to our lives and showed us how this connection when we are praying can bring about inner healing, strength and deeper faith. (More ...)
- I admit that my main motivation to come was to hear her and she exceeded my expectations. (More ...)
- The women who left the retreat centre on Sunday afternoon were changed from those who arrived on Friday evening. With the teaching of Terry they are now more able to use Mary as a role model; to saying ‘yes’ to what God wants for them through reflection on the rosary. And as for myself – my view (or lack of view) of the rosary has changed and I can see the richness of this type of prayer. (More ...)
