________"Learning to Read as Prayer without Ceasing"_______ A Lectio Divina Day Retreat with Jenny Heil, PhD Saturday, February 9, 9 am-12 at Rayne's Epiphany House, 3924 St. Charles Ave. Lectio Divina, the prayerful reading of Scripture, has a long-standing tradition in the Church, but we need not think of reflective reading as limited to the Bible alone. Drawing on the wisdom of great writers, this workshop will outline both how they teach us to read better--whatever book we pick up--and how this deeper reading leads us to more loving and contemplative living.

Listening in Stillness
Cultivating a contemplative presence for God involves daily practice of spiritual disciplines in solitude.
Because the journey cannot be completed alone, we also practice and learn with a community
of supportive friends. This, for us, is the inward journey: "practicing the Presence of God for personal transformation." Serving in Joy! a response of serving by bringing the Presence into our service. We serve through our chosen vocations and through shared missions. We seek compassionate service with the world. This for us is the outward journey |
