Lenten Prayer Retreat 2021
SoulStream Presents:
THE WAY OF COMPASSION: A Lenten Prayer Retreat
Saturday, March 27, 2021
9:00 am – 3:00 pm (PT) Online
When you regarded me
Your eyes imprinted your grace in me,
In this, you loved me again,
And thus my eyes merited
To also love what you see in me . . .
Let us go forth together to see ourselves in Your beauty.
—St. John of the Cross
Spiritual Canticle 32, 33
Compassion is “deep awareness of the suffering of another accompanied by the wish to relieve it.” Suffering is inevitable in this life, and God sees ours. Isaiah 30:18 says, “The Eternal One yearns to give you grace and boundless compassion.” What would it be like to receive all the compassion God yearns to give? How might that change your experience of suffering and how you respond to the suffering of others? Join us for a gentle, quiet day of reflection on suffering and compassion. The format will include input, opportunities to reflect and pray in silence, and small group sharing (optional).
