I'm glad I could attend the Lenten Day of Recollection. It was the first activity for people outside the parish since being cancelled last year by covid-19.

Timing this year actually coincided with the last day of the week in celebration of consecrated women's week. So incredible to be among the many vibrant sisters with tremendous faith.



The two presentations used Lectio Divina is a traditional monastic practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's word. In the view of one commentator, it does not treat scripture as texts to be studied, but as the living word.

Also, Sr Sheila used Visio Divina "sacred seeing" is an ancient form of Christian prayer in which we allow our hearts and imaginations to enter into a sacred image of Christ knocking at the door, in silence, to see what God might have to say to us.



Monsignor Louis A. D Addezio, who is a priest in residence. I loved spending half an hour at the new shrine in honor of St Katharine Drexel, SBS. It's absolutely stunning. Thank you for your prayers.
