The Path of Entering Quiet in the Midst of Everyday Life
Julie Vieira, IHM, MA
Saturday, March 8, 9:30am-12:30pm
Suggested Offering: $25
We long for quiet and spaciousness with God, yet there is so much that fills our hearts and daily lives with questions, challenges, and responsibilities. Stillness seems impossible in the chaos of the moment. God is in all of this, and we have within us the capacity to dwell in quiet and spaciousness. This program provides the space to deepen our relationship with God and our capacity to incarnate the spirit of quiet and spaciousness in the reality of our everyday lives. You are invited into this time of prayer, reflection and exploration with God which includes the wisdom of the saints and mystics, who like us, have made this journey, too. Along the way, you will find ideas and practices that can guide you along your own journey.
