Lenten Reflections: Part Two ~ Prayer

LARCC

Lenten Reflections: Part Two ~ Prayer Hosted online via zoom by Mary & Joseph Retreat Center. “A People of Prayer” Lent calls us to a renewal of our prayer life with traditional seasonal forms of prayer like the Stations of the Cross, which is full of rich Scripture passages to sit with. This pandemic has put us in the longest “Lent,” a two-year season of penance, fasting, and introspection. This session offers suggestions and sharing on what types of prayer can bring us new hope and trust that Easter is indeed coming. Participants will listen to the Scripture of the Day: Matt 7:7-12, share in breakout rooms and experience a different way of praying as a community gathered on ZOOM. Psalm 138 “Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.”

Mandala Making as a Spiritual Tool

Rev. Paula Vukmanic

The word mandala is from Sanskrit and means circle. A circle is a symbol of wholeness. Mandala making can be a spiritual tool for centering, healing, meditation, exploration, self-realization and expression. Our workshop will engage the experience of the mandala in a variety of ways including personal reflection, creating themed mandalas, learning more of the universality of mandalas, their presence in history, cultures, and nature. Mandala making has a language of expression with color, shapes, symbols, radiations and a personal mandala can be an instrument for peace, for storytelling, for the revelations of the Divine and more. Come and connect with yourself and the world around you. You may bring your own supplies and notebook, otherwise, all will be provided.
