    IMAGES OF GOD IN TEILHARD AND MERTON

         Begins 7:00 PM – Ends 10:00 AM

             June 12 – 17 Sunday to Friday


    Sister Kathy Duffy returns to Francis House to lead us in prayer as we consider the role of the Divine in the ongoing creation of the universe. Contemporary mystics have described powerful images that address this. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin speaks eloquently of the Cosmic Christ hinted at in Paul’s epistles to the Ephesians. Thomas Merton sings the praises of Divine Wisdom in his poems. We will pray with these images, consider their relevance as we address the concerns of today’s world, and contemplate the presence of Divine Love at the heart of our ever-expanding Cosmos.  Led by S. Kathy Duffy, SSJ. Donation: $400/$60 non-refundable deposit. Commuters welcome, meals included.
