CIRCLES OF CONTEMPLATION, CONVERSATIO AND CONVERSATION IX
January 9, February 6, March 5, May 7, June 4, 2012
2012 Focus: "Living the Questions"
Sitting with the questions of Jesus...may open up a new way to pray and reflect on the meanng of our own lives, our world, and our God. Letting Jesus' questions touch us may lead us deeper into his heart and life, into the mystery of our own lives, and into the mystery of God. (John Dear)
This program offers the opportunity to gather with others in a place of safety and of non-judgmental conversation, within a faith context, to ponder God's Word and the ways it impacts our present reality; to share with others the unsettling questions and conflicts of the heart that often confront us today; and to encourage and support a Gospel response.
Time: 7:30 - 9:00p.m. at Emmanuel Monastery
