Greetings from Honduras!
From across the miles, my heart-thoughts and prayer have been with one and all through this difficult lent and most unusual Easter season. May the gifts of the season help us all as we, as a whole planet, journey to renewed health with a deepened conviction of our inter-connectedness. We are safe and well here in Amarateca, Honduras and being very careful. Please take good care and be well. Unity, solidarity and all good blessings to you and yours.

The COVID-19 pandemic has upturned our lives and the celebrations planned throughout 2020 for the 400th anniversary of Marguerite Bourgeoys’s birth.
Yet, is this not the ideal time to stop and think about the future of the planet and of all living beings?
Take part in our new online retreat In the Garden of our Common Home with Marguerite and let us journey together…
In darkness and light, a true mother,
you walk with us.
Amid crashing waves and on dancing beaches,
you hold us up.
Through fearsome forests and meadows blessed
with bird-song, you guide our steps.
With frail health or robust energy, you climb
the hills of our memories,
Never too busy to listen, or sit beside us in
comfortable quiet,
All the while, leading us to Mary’s open,
waiting arms,
All the while, showing us her Son living
within us, transforming us with his
Presence.
