Week of Events
Begin with the Heart
Weekend Healing Retreat ~ The following prayer taken from John Kirvan's Silent Hope expresses very simply the essence of this retreat: "You who are beyond mystery hear my prayer. Let wonder loose in my soul. Let hope begin. Unwrap the mystery of your presence for without it, without you, I am living half a life. Without wonder, without hope my life is not, will not be worth living." The Retreat is an opportunity to allow the heart to be touched through the power of God's healing love. It offers times for quiet reflection and prayer, personal ministry, and daily celebration of the Eucharist. The sacrament of reconciliation will also be available for those wishing to avail themselves of the sacrament. There will be a general healing service on Saturday evening in the Chapel for all those wishing to attend.
Centering Prayer Group Practice
Centering Prayer Group Practice
Centering Prayer is a practice to foster our relationship with God. It is a movement beyond conversation to communion and union with God. It prepares us for the gift of contemplation. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer or meditation; rather it casts new light and depth of meaning on all of the various ways we open ourselves to new levels of consciousness. Gather with us to practice. ALL are welcome to join in this experience. Greg Johnson is a lay contemplative and computer scientist by profession. He has been active in contemplative practice for over 30 years. Herb Kaighan is a retired professional who has been on a spiritual path since his youth.
