Each Friday session is designed to encourage us to listen to the weekly scripture readings in a new way, with a contemplative heart and mind!
Contemplation, according to Walter Burghardt, S.J., means taking a long, loving look at the real.
Utilizing the cultures out of which the bible emerges, we will take a contemplative look at the Sunday scriptures to understand them, and to discern how we are called to live them.
Join us on Friday from 11:30 am to noon. These sessions are held online via Zoom. All are welcome!
Presenters: Gaynell Cronin and Fr. Jack Rathschmidt, OFM, Cap.
