Liturgical Seasons

"Go out into nature and breathe, because creation is a soothing balm for anxious bodies." The noisy worlds in which we coexist with nature too often drown out the sounds and music of nature.

Though the events of these days we call “holy” happened in history, they continue to unfold and resonate today in our time and place. How will the Paschal Mystery of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection transform our lives so that we become agents of healing presence for a world that is both beautiful and wounded?

In this #Nunday video, Sister Columbia Fernandez, OP, shares her thoughts on the power of presence and how sharing that gift is transforming for her and for those she reaches out to.

To be acknowledged is one thing, but to be seen says that we are valued and loved. No matter what we do or give to practice Almsgiving, it is about the person and the relationship. Showing others that they are seen, heard, and loved has the potential to bring them back from the lifelessness of all that weighs them down.

In this #Nunday video, Sister Mary Ellen Burns, ASCJ, shares her thoughts on almsgiving and how she's grown from giving coins from her pocket to giving God's love from her heart.
