Celebrating Creation: Being Alive In The Glory

Part 1: Celebrating Simple Living – We pause to consider ways to hone our lifestyle for the sake of our own health and sanity, for the good of our dear neighbors of every species and for the benefit of the Earth. The Corporal Works of Mercy are the inspiration for this reflection.

Part 2: Celebrating the Bliss of Being – The “Beatitudes of Being” are a path to the fullness of being human and holy in this precious life of ours. We take time to experience the grandeur of being and the call to deepen our delight in living.
