A Day of Retreat

On April 26, the sisters hosted a day of reflection and listening at the Mother House of the Sisters of Divine Compassion. Those attending included several members of the Mustard Seed Board of Directors, as well as some members of the volunteer team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old and new members enjoyed meeting each other and gathering with the common bond of compassion. Sister Alice led the group in quiet meditation as well as various exercises designed to help each person listen to the voice of God; listen to their hearts; and listen to each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The day proved to be a gentle reminder to live in the moment, to take precious time to hear our own feelings, to be generous with our time in listening to others, and to clear away the clutter so that we can feel the Holy Spirit within us.
