JOURNEYING THROUGH GRIEF
Grief is a normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. It also is a challenging journey of self-discovery and an invitation to take stock of your life and to be open to new possibilities. Yes, it's true that after a loss, life will never be the same, but that's true anytime there is change. While it may not seem so now, your life can be fulfilling once again.
LISTEN WITH THE EAR OF YOUR HEART
“Listen carefully, my child, to the master’s instruction, and attend to them with the ear of your heart.” St. Benedict reminds us that our hearts are where God speaks to us, and if we respond, we can experience an abundant, loving relationship with the Holy Trinity that transforms us. This blog offers encouragement and helpful tips to seekers and grievers.
