Jesus
regularly stopped His busy ministry and withdrew for prayer
and He urged His disciples to do the same (Mark 6,31 and
46). Out of this fundamental Christian need has come the
custom of retreats lasting anywhere from 3 to 40 days. A
day of recollection is a mini-retreat from the busy-ness of
life to focus on our relationship with the Lord.
On
Saturday, March 6
Basilian Sister Barbara Jean Mihalchick from Uniontown PA offered our parish an opportunity for such a focused
spiritual experience. She met with our ByzanTeens and with the adults. The day concluded with Vespers. A light meatless
lunch for everyone was served between the two sessions.
Sister
Barbara Jean has served the Church in a variety of
ministries including teaching, spiritual direction,
administration and vocation development. She was involved
in the re-establishment of religious life for women in
Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism. will offer
spiritual and practical reflections on how to get the most
out of Lent. Her conference is addressed to both women and
men. There will be opportunity for questions, discussion
and private reflection.
