Visio Divina for Lent
Mondays, March 17, 24, 31
7:00pm tp 8:00pm ET
Online
Join our Franciscan Year Novices as we meditate on works of art, using the eyes of our heart to discover God’s revelation in beauty. We will share our experience of the artwork with mutual respect and a desire for holy conversation.
We believe that contemplation is a gift, and we desire to offer our teachings as a gift to all, regardless of anyone's ability to pay. Your donation will enable us to continue this mission. However, you are very welcome to register without making a donation. Your presence is itself a gift.
The Zoom link is the same for all three sessions (March 17, 24, and 31). You may register for each session if you would like to receive a reminder with the link, or you can register for just one and save the link.

Monasticism has always been a response to the deep human longing for God. From the desert fathers and mothers of Egypt and Palestine to the monasteries of Europe, it has shaped lives of prayer, simplicity, and service for centuries. But this course isn’t about the monasticism of the past—it’s about new expressions of monasticism emerging today, rooted in the same longing but responding to the unique challenges and possibilities of our time.
Tuesday, April 29

Online and In Person
Join us for an hour of contemplation and meditation at the Cathedral of the Incarnation's Museum of the Moon. UK artist Luke Jerram's large-scale 20-ft, 3D representation of the moon was created using detailed NASA imagery. This awe-inspiring work of art has been displayed in cathedrals, museums, and other public spaces the world-over. For the best experience, join us in person in Garden City, NY. We will also live stream the meditation.
