Sister Marie Therese
“The spiritual life is about allowing the Word of God, the life of Jesus, to seep into your soul.”
As we come to the end of our Lenten journey, let us join Jesus in the desert through silence, personal prayer, and reflection on the scriptures. Participants are asked to bring their Bibles, journals or notebooks.
“Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
