Kairos retreat letters are letters of encouragement written by family friends or anyone who has a relationship with a student who has gone on a kairos spiritual retreat. Despite Jerrys humility and reluctance to share this letter it has proven to be an inspiration for many men - and sons Son Im writing this because we could never have this conversation in person.
Anyone interested in writing to someone on the retreat can write multiple letters.

Retreat letter for a son. Although we could not be there to celebrate this special day with you we hope you will have a blast with your friends at the university. Today you begin to step away from us. I cant always talk to him so I write him letters.
This is not the time to say I wish you were more like THIS Instead tell them that God knows who they are. Your dad and I always feel so proud of you that you. I am so happy that at your young age you have showing so much courage and strength you have to overcome negativity that comes your way I am writing this letter bring very much emotions to my heart.
Thank you for being the best son ever. Putting God first takes a lot of courage and strength. Most of all bub Im proud of you for always being so positive happy caring and loving.
Now its your turn to be taken care of your soul and mind. I have a son. Some time ago I posted a letter to my daughter which I wrote for her senior retreat in high school.
Ive been doing so since he was a baby. Jerry wrote this letter to his sons and was asked to read it to all the junior boys on the schools junior class retreat. My dear son.
Dear Sister in Christ Kathleen as of yet I have not met you but I know I already love you. Birthday Letter To Son. As you continue to grow and become an adult you will live your own life.
In a letter of encouragement to a friend share a word of hope. We love you so much. Example Letter of Encouragement to Motivate My Son.
For the journey over the next six months take with you our and your brothers support cheering from the sidelines and most of all our love. Whether you have a son or daughter my advice to you is to be honest and bare your soul. Dear son we cant describe in words what actually you mean to us.
Our loving child you are the reason that our home is full of joy. A Letter Of Love And Advice T o my son I think often of the legacy I leave for you. A Letter To My Son.
As your dad and I fade into the background of your life I want to tell you it has been a privilege to have you as our son. And I feel so happy when I look at you because you are not just a great boy to look at but also a wonderful human being inside. I feel this is going to be so good for you.
Thank you for being our son for adding your uniqueness to our family. Now you are older. Submitted on october 25 2009 120pm.
Leave letters flat out of the envelopes. When you spoke your first word when you walked your first steps I was your biggest supporter and fan. With every developmental milestone you reached I reveled in joy and celebration.
Letter to My Son. I believe in you You are going to do great. For this J is THE secret to happiness and fulfilment.
Youve brought joy to us in so many ways. Dear Jacob So many beautiful thoughts come to my mind that make me smile when I think of you. Life has its ups and downs and is not always fair but I know your strength and resilience will see you through.
Not just with your family but with your friends team mates and just people in general. I wonder how memory will color me in your eyes. You are a pure and kind hearted woman to everyone.
All of that adds up to a future of great potential and great promise. It might be a word of cheer or of comfort. Every time I see you put others before you my pride and love for you grows.
If the letters receiver begrudgingly went to the retreat they need your love now. You have the ability to do and be ANYTHING you put your mind to. Hes an adult now.
Feel free to share a Bible verse or quote that comforted you. You will fall in love and you will have your heart broken. Or I am saddened that you are going through this hard time I am so sorry that you are hurting.
Now my son is a senior and he is on a retreat. We can say that you are the world of us. It makes my heart want to bust open.
He attended the same retreat last year but this year he is one of the seven seniors chosen to lead the four-day journey. If you think their priorities stray from concentrating on Him show them Love in your letter. You taught me the meaning of love - true unconditional love.
You have the wonderful ability of making people laugh. Write your child a letter if you are unable to talk. From Father To Son.
Think big and dream large your options are many. From singing You Are My Sunshine to you countless times as an infant to how I say you taught me how to be a mom to how you seem to be such an old soul to how you always seem to want to be there for people that. Sample Palanca letter for Son To My Son and My Friend I cannot begin to express how proud I am of you.
Name Nickname Happy birthday to the best son in the world. Your spirit your dedication your integrity. You will have times of happiness and times of disappointment.
You have completed our family and our life. As you turn 23 today we. Dear Arthur When I took you in my arms for the first time it was the most beautiful day of my life.
