SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday Day of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:“Rend your heart not your garments\, and return to the Lord\, your God.” (Joel 2:13) \nThese words from the prophet Joel invite us to take an inward journey during the 40 days of Lent to search our hearts as to where we stand with God and our neighbor and to enter more deeply into the Mystery of God’s love. \nJoin us for a quiet day of prayer as we begin the sacred Lenten season. The atmosphere for the day will be reverent silence\, which allows us to more deeply encounter God and be attuned to God’s promptings. It will begin with reflective input by Sr. Bernie\, followed by time for private prayer and reflection\, lunch in silence\, the option of walking the labyrinth or beautiful grounds\, journaling\, or just relaxing with God. There will be an opportunity to attend Ash Wednesday liturgy with distribution of ashes\, if you wish. The day will conclude with participants coming together to name the blessings of the day and to join in a closing prayer. This is a day of silence. Lunch is included. Guided by Sr. Bernadette Claps\, CBS. \nSister Bernadette Claps\, a Sister of Bon Secours\, provides spiritual direction and spiritual companionship at the Retreat and Conference Center at Bon Secours. She holds graduate certificates in Spiritual Direction\, Spirituality and Aging. She has done graduate studies in theology and received a Master of Social Work from New York University.
