Information on this reflective meditative prayer.

  • Prayer will focus on ritualizing “Honoring Our Pain” (the second movement of Joanna Macy’s work, The Spiral That Reconnects) in the context of Advent’s theme of awaiting Emmanuel (God-with-Us). 
  • In between readings we will have quiet time where 1) we will be together in silence and solidarity; and 2) allow ourselves time to name in our hearts the pain we experience … personally, in family, in our Common Home and in the community of life.
  • Participants are invited to bring paper, a pen, pencil or crayons to prayer time, and if moved, to put on paper words, images, symbols, colors that arise from the readings and/or reflection. 
  • Prayer Time will be about 30-40 minutes.
  • Participants are invited to stay after formal Prayer Time to share insights and conversation. 
  • Participants are welcome to come to just the Prayer.
