SUMMARY:Join the Dominican Sisters in virtual prayer sessions each Wednesdays of Lent
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to join the Dominican Sisters of Springfield for Stay with Me: Lenten Prayer for Disciples. The virtual sessions\, scheduled for 7 p.m. on the Wednesdays of Lent\, start March 5. They will allow space for participants to attune their hearts and minds to the struggles of those Jesus most often accompanied during his life on earth: widows\, orphans\, and persons cast out. \nThe title draws on Jesus’ request in Matthew’s gospel that the disciples accompany him to Gethsemane while he prays\, just before his arrest. \nHosted by the Dominican Sisters’ Vocation Office\, participants can expect to \n\nhear reflections on the theme from Dominican sisters;\nenjoy periods of silence and sharing;\nbuild a community of prayer and mutual support for their Lenten practice.\n\nThe liturgical season of Lent includes six weeks before Holy Week. It is a time of prayer\, fasting\, and almsgiving in preparation for the celebration of the passion\, death\, and resurrection of Jesus. The baptized are encouraged to use this time to prepare for the renewal of their baptismal promises. Parish communities may also be accompanying those who intend to join the Church. For them\, Lent is considered a six-week retreat in preparation for their baptism or profession of faith. Customarily\, then\, these new Catholics are welcomed into the church during the services on Holy Saturday\, during the Triduum. \nStay with Me: Lenten Prayer for Disciples runs weekly March 5-April 9. Participants are welcome to join all six sessions or choose a few according to their own schedule and needs. Register once for participation in any or all of the sessions at springfieldop.org/events.
