In-Spirited

These reflections are meant to support practices of Quiet and Silence deliberately entered into. Such practices are like 'date nights' for the spirit, with the God who loves and nurtures and feeds us, ever inviting us more deeply into fuller truer life. Hermit Day is October 29th, and there's a quiet day event at Bon Secours to attend, if you like and are local. A date day? Hoping for lovely weather at this lovely place too. This blog features that event, but also has a few ideas and quotes to support regular practices of Quiet we all do well to schedule into our day-week-month-year regularly. Consider 'hermit' time, or whatever you'd name it, once again. As the seasons change, always a good time to revisit what we want to intentionally give more time to or less time to in the life God gives us.

John Collins, CSSR as presider (and I really look forward to his presiding and preaching!), wonderful music leaders (yay Danny Gallagher et al), always great food and hospitality,. As the team chatted this week, I grew even more excited, seeing how the Spirit is drawing things together for these days. There's a commuter option too. If you have any questions, message me. Or certainly call the Center.

"There are far too many words about prayer these days. It is as if, in our starving, we think a cookbook rather than a meal will feed us."
