Go Deeper- Youth Day Retreat

With over one million copies sold in 24 languages, Jacques Philippe’s writings on themes such as prayer, interior freedom, and peace of heart have become classics of modern Catholic spirituality.

Jacques Philippe was born on March 12, 1947, in Lorraine, France. After studying mathematics in college, he spent several years teaching and doing scientific research. In 1976, he met the recently founded Community of the Beatitudes, and, answering the Lord’s call, he became a brother in the community.

He then spent several years in Jerusalem and Nazareth, immersing himself in the study of Hebrew and the Jewish roots of Christianity, before studying theology and canon law in Rome. He also began his work as a spiritual director, working in the formation of priests and seminarians of the community. In 1985, he was ordained a priest, and in 1994, he returned to France, where he assumed various responsibilities, including spiritual direction, the formation of new members in the Community, and participation in its General Counsel.

He began preaching retreats regularly in France and abroad and has consolidated his principal retreat themes into twelve books on spirituality. These books have sold over a million copies in 24 languages. Jacques Philippe’s writings on themes such as prayer, interior freedom, and peace of heart have become classics of modern Catholic spirituality. In recent years, he has fevoted himself primarily to travelling worldwide to preach retreats and missions.
