Visio Divina for Lent
Mondays, March 17, 24, 31

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.

In our new monastic community, we engage with an adapted version of the 12 Steps that is suitable for anyone who is addicted to their own way of thinking (in other words, everyone!) Our 12 Step contemplative practice is a means of ongoing conversion of life and community accountability. This spring, we are delighted to offer this practice to the public.

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.
