Sacred in the Secular: Rosary on the Go
If you enjoy walking or jogging by yourself or with others why not turn it into a time of prayer so that you can exercise your body and your soul at the same time?!
If you are new to the Rosary on the Go, Blessed Sacrament will provide rosary rings for each participant and a weekly prayer intention based on Pope Francis’s monthly prayer intention. Please contact Lyn to request your rosary ring(s) and list of weekly intentions. In Mark 16:15 Jesus said, “GO into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature…” On your mark, get set, GO!!!!
Pope Francis’s Prayer Intention for October: For Missionary Disciples
October 3: We pray that every baptized person may be engaged in evangelization, available to the mission, and by being witnesses of a life that has the flavor of the Gospel
October 10: For each of us to respond wholeheartedly to the call to follow Jesus Christ as disciples without counting the personal cost
October 17: That all members of the Church may be inspired by Christ’s example of generous self-giving in generously sharing their gifts with others
October 24: For the faithful to accept the invitation to proclaim the Good News in word an action so that we may provide hope to others, particularly those on the margins of society

Art Reflection
During Art Reflections we share how to look at and talk about art. We like to discuss old and new paintings by familiar artists as well as exploring the art of newcomers. Join us to chat about art or to just observe and listen to the discussion. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:30 in the lounge. No need to be an artist to attend. All are welcome.
The imagination works through suggestion, not description. Description is always direct and frequently closes off what it names. Suggestion respects the mystery and richness of a thing. All it offers are clues to its nature. Suggestion keeps the mystery open and extends us the courtesy of inviting us to see the thing for ourselves. It offers us the hospitality and freedom to trust the integrity of our own encounter with a thing. This is how a work of art can allow itself to be seen in so many different and often conflicting ways. It does not foreclose on the adventure of revelation. —John O’Donohue
Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler offers a wonderful invitation into visio divina (or sacred seeing). I invite you to try this image for a meditation experience, as a window into your own soul and the Divine.
