Praying the Lenten Gospels: Embodying Ourselves in the Wilderness
Wednesdays, March 12, 19, 26, April 2
6:30-7:45 p.m. • Common Room
Dean Keyse will lead five Lenten mediations in which participants will listen to the corresponding Gospel for the upcoming Sunday, Year C, and begin to picture themselves within the story.
Each meditation will utilize images and music associated with that particular Gospel. With the image before us, we will hear the reading and immerse ourselves within the wilderness of Lent. Time for reflection and discussion will follow.
