Monday Mass at Noon!
Please join us each Monday at 12:00 for the celebration of the Eucharist in Wiegand Hall. If you would like to serve as a reader please contact Sister Carol in University Ministry (chiggins@marylhurst.edu).
The early days of Fall bring with them a twinge of longing, longing for that which is most dear to our hearts and souls. As we watch the trees yield their leaves; as we enjoy the activity of the squirrels as they hide food; as we wonder at the flight of the geese; we are filled with a sense that all is as it should be, that everyone and everything in nature is doing the work that must be done to prepare for the season of rest, winter.
Let us remember to give thanks for each moment of sunshine, for the colorful trees, for the scurrying animals, and for the inner call to slow down and savor, even if just for a moment the beauty and joy of life.
Times for Prayer and Reflection
We offer a variety of prayer opportunities on our campus --
The Meditation Room, Marian 204, is open for use by faculty, staff, and students. You may find it a great place to go for some quiet time, or you may wish to schedule a prayer group. The space is yours, let me know how I can be of assistance.
If you would like to make a prayer request you may do so through a direct e-mail to me chiggins@marylhurst.edu, by putting a note under my door -- Marian 202, by placing a request in one of the envelops located throughout the campus, or by posting a response to my blog.
Weekly Mass at noon on Mondays is at the heart of all we do at Marylhurst. We invite you to join us if you are able. Mass is also available at 11:00 Tuesday - Friday in the chapel at Mary's Woods. Mary's Woods has Sunday Mass at 11:00 -- for students involved in weekend classes here on campus.
How else can we meet your needs? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to be of service.

Sr. Higgs,
ReplyDeleteThis is a profoundly beautiful reflection on the season. I hope that these poetic thoughts will be included in the Gratitude Service to be celebrated on Tuesday October 26th @ 5:30 in the BP John Weigan hall chapel/ performance center.
Blessings,
Sheila
