Sat. March 31st 9:00am to 3:15pm Living the Paschal Mysteries~ Sr. Clare McKeever, SSL

Each year, during Holy Week, we celebrate the Paschal Mysteries of the death and resurrection of Jesus. However, throughout the year and throughout our lives, we are called to live the mysteries of dying and rising in union with him. This short retreat is an opportunity to reflect on our individual and communal involvement in this two-fold dimension of the Paschal mystery as we await the realization of the third, Christ’s coming in glory. This retreat will provide input, time for reflection and time for sharing. It is hoped that it will prepare participants for, and enrich their experience of the upcoming Holy Week. Sr. Bridget Clare McKeever has thirty-six years experience in retreat direction and spiritual direction. She has completed ten years as director of the office of spirituality in the Diocese of Salt Lake City before returning to Southern California  in June 2006.  Participants should bring their bibles.
