Are you seeking to find God in your everyday
experiences?
Are you hoping to make this Lent a time of personal and spiritual
growth?
Consider coming to one of the series based on Open the Door: A
Journey to the True Self by Joyce Rupp. Well-known author and
spiritual guide, Joyce Rupp explores the rich image of the door as
an invitation to discernment and awareness of one’s authentic self
in relationship with God. As one reviewer commented “This may be
the most life-giving door you will ever open”. Open the
Door will be available for purchase at the Staten Island
campus book store for about $15.
Luncheon Reflections
At the Monday, 1 - 2 p.m., Luncheon Reflection in Notre Dame House,
we will use the six-week process in the book Open the
Door. By using the daily short reflections, we will discover
how opening the door of the heart reveals the vast treasure of who
we are and how the sacred is present within us.
On Mondays, we will gather for a lunch conversation about our
insights and reflections. Beverages will be provided. Please
purchase Open the Door at our Staten Island campus book store.
The reflections are at 1 - 2 p.m., in Notre Dame House:
