Spring is a time of new growth in the natural world around us. With an open spirit, we are open to the possibilities of new spiritual growth with the loving Spirit of God. Mary’s receptive stance of pondering before the love of God, brought not only newness in her life, but brought the word of God to us. This day of prayer is not a silent retreat. It begins with refreshments in the serving area, followed by a conference, the sacrament of Reconciliation, and time for silent reflection. After lunch, we will pray the Rosary together and close with the celebration of the Eucharist.
