Weekly Reflection - July 16, 2018
So that is how the sun comes up,
A ribbon at a time,
But that was in an eastern land,
Not in our western clime.
Here morn is swift approaching,
The world is bathed in mauve,
Which quickly turns to hyacinth
And then to glowing gold.
The sun engulfs the prairie,
The fields of wheaten gold,
The pastures and the meadows,
Its warmth and light unfold.
And when the day is waning,
And nearer is the night,
A brilliant fall of fire
Is poised in golden light.
My eyes just glimpse the beauty,
the dazzle, brilliant bright,
for there before my very eyes,
It's dropped completely out of sight.
The focus of this retreat will be Benedictine Spirituality as a pathway for spiritual growth. We offer you three days for standing in the Presence of God. Sister Macrina will use monastic practices to help you discern how to cultivate a listening heart and how to create a sacred rule of life right in the midst of your daily living. In giving yourself the gift of this retreat, you will be giving yourself time to offer hospitality to your deep longing for God. Cost: $300.00. A $50.00 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is required at time of registration. Lodging and meals are included. Deadline for registration is July 5, 2018.
