A REFLECTION ON HEALING
A Spirituality of Healing: Sacramental Moments For The Pilgrim Spirit
Fr. Harry Byrne, O.P., will lead you through a day of embracing those sacred moments when God enters into our lives to bring care and healing. Both in the experience of being healed and participating in the healing of others, our own faith is deepened. Our belief in the care and power of God, who is with us every moment of our lives, strengthens our commitment to follow the way of Jesus. Becoming aware of those moments enables us to enrich and bring greater meaning to the pilgrimage that we call our faith life. Cost: $30 (lunch included).
