Saint Benedict Center was filled to capacity June 12th to the 14th as Benedictine Oblate, spiritual writer, and poet Kathleen Norris was the featured speaker for a weekend retreat. Throughout her presentations, Kathleen interspersed her wisdom and personal life experiences with her own poetic works and poetry from various other sources, including the writings of her husband. The theme of the entire weekend was based on her book Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith. Each session opened with the chanting of an antiphon and the proclamation of a Psalm which was then incorporated into the presentation. There was ample time for quiet reflection, prayer, sharing and discussions.
The Oblate community of Christ the King Priory was well represented and had an opportunity at the end of the program to meet personally with Kathleen.
Great !
I’m sure it was a wonderful program!
