Exodus 90 and Magnify 90
Join men and women from Holy Redeemer starting on January 20th for 90 days of Spiritual Exercises (asceticism and prayer) aimed at preparing us to be the disciples we were made to be!
Exodus 90 for Men
+ What is Exodus 90?
"Exodus 90 is a ninety-day spiritual exercise for men based on three pillars: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity. All three of these pillars are essential aspects of the Christian life. It is for this reason that taking up this spiritual exercise requires taking up all three of these pillars both simultaneously and humbly."
