A SPIRITUALITY OF NON-VIOLENCE 1:30pm - 3:00pm Caldwell Dominican Motherhouse Chapel Registration appreciated by December 3, 2020 Fee: $30 A rabbinic saying tells us that every human being is preceded by a legion of angels announcing: Make way for the image of God. It is not easy for us to catch that vision of ourselves or of other people. Yet the image of God in us is the very essence of peace and compassion. This afternoon invites us to a self-reflection that will lead us to the center of our desire for peace and non-violence, giving us ways to become the peace we desire and non-violence we seek for ourselves and our world. Presenter: Anita Constance, S.C. |
