A beautiful reminder from my dear Sister, Cheryl Anne ❤️❤️
Your Mercy falls
gently as soft
summer rain
to the grateful
Earth…

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
What an amazing day, Lord
Fellowship with dear friends
Special time with my beloved
The wonders of your Creation
So much new life
It was truly overwhelming
Overwhelming in a good way
For these and all your gifts we thank you
Now in your mercy, hear this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Wandering in the marshy area where Moose hang out
Tripping over limbs
Sinking in the Marsh
Seeing evidence of the Mama Moose and her Baby
Not seeing them though
Rain was falling
In the distance thunder is heard
The rain continues to fall
Becoming damp, I am chilled
I am also aware of the depression
Aware of a growing headache
Aware of the tiredness of my body and spirit
Yet I am also aware that I am fully alive
The sun has come out
The sky brightens
I am alive and fully aware of my body
I am fully aware of my environment
All because we chose to wander off of the path in search of a family.
A reflection written as a part of the Abbey of the Arts on-line retreat, “Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Contemplative Practice.”
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A time of ministry, listening, and reflecting
A time to support those who mourn
A time to go on a bit of a ramble
A time to be in the midst of the beauty of Creation
A time to spend with family
A time to Be Still
A time to simply Be
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Divine Tenderness,
Keeper of All Hearts,
May we know the sweetness
of Your Love.

Words of wisdom that strike close to home for me… thank you, Michelle ❤️❤️
The afternoon unfurled ahead of me as quiet and uncluttered as a deserted country lane. Settling into the sofa, I opened a novel to the first page, eager to immerse myself in rest and relaxation...

Well said, Ronnie, well said!
Every year as the calendar turns from May to June, I think of David, a long-ago neighbor of mine. David was old enough to be my father, and his actions on the last day of May more than four decades ago have loomed over my life ever since…

It is an honor to be a part of the Wisdom Council at Abbey of the Arts and to share my first post for the Abbey ❤️☘️
What is Contemplative Life? When I first became aware of the term, I associate it with Monks and Nuns in Monasteries and Convents who lived in relative isolation from the outside world. To be honest, I didn’t really see how it could apply to me during my 21 years as a US Air Force Chaplain. That understanding began to turn during the last three years I was in the Air Force…

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A long and busy day behind us
An evening of reflection and relaxation
Circle us, Lord
Keep peace within and violence without
Keep love within and hatred without
Lord, Circle us with your grace
Lord, Circle us with your mercy
Lord, Circle us with your peace
In your mercy, hear this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
As Monday’s go, it wasn’t so bad
A time of reflection and worship preparation
A time of fellowship with dear friends
A quiet evening with my beloved
A time to Be Still
Thank you, Lord, for the quiet moments
Now, as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
