"IT IS GOOD!"
Season-ing Wounded Earth
Thursdays: Oct. 22, Feb. 4, Mar. 11, Apr 22,2027
TIME: 1:00-2:30
Seasons of the heart change like the seasons of Earth. There are seasons of wonder and hope, of suffering and love, of healing, dying and rising. "I am part of Earth that God wants to share with the world," says Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, God's story told in the changing seasons of our simple lives. We invite you to explore how our human journey "seasons" the wounded Earth we are so deeply a part of; a call to be co-creators with God, who continues to say: "It is Good!"

Thursday Mornings Time: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM 
We continue to explore the great wisdom of the Rule of Benedict. This year we will continue to explore the Rule as protrayed in the lives of the monks of the fictional 14th centurey St. Alcuin Abbey. They belonged to another century, yet their struggles are our own. Called to live together in community, they teach us that the whole of life is a love story about at tender and compassionate God and how to live out that love with others in the most human of circumstances.teach us the timeless wisdom of the Rule through their very human struggles of community life with a loving God at its center.
