“Exploring Illness” online Nov. 14
If illness is a cause of suffering in the human experience, why do the saints and mystics have such a positive attitude about it? Join us in the comfort of your own home as we explore how illness can bring forth transformation and growth of our life in God. Through presentation, storytelling, journal prompts, group sharing, poetry and music, Maryann Joyce, director of the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center in Maple Mount, will lead us to reflect on our part of the Pascal Mystery of Christ. Themes discussed will include surrender and trust, vulnerability, and acceptance. This retreat would be a comfort and inspiration for anyone coping with a serious or chronic illness. The retreat will be held from 9-11:30 a.m., followed by a lunch break, and then 1-3 pm. The fee is $30.
