On this first day of Holy Week…
“Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” Matthew 11:28. The Message.
There will be the invitation to keep silence through the day. There will be two sessions. The morning session will be a guided reflection entitled Jesus the Gardener with opportunity for quiet personal reflection before lunch.
After lunch there will be the second reflection based upon the Women of Hoy week. We will focus on one of the women from Paula Gooder’s book entitled “Women of Holy Week”. There will be time for quiet reflection, and we will close with prayer.

I am a day chaplain at St Katharine’s.
My training is rooted in the Ignatian tradition. As a Spiritual Director my desire is to accompany others as they explore their relationship with God. It is a joy to see how God works with them as they are given the time and space in a safe, nonjudgemental setting to explore their own spirituality and so discover that God is in all things.
Isaiah 30:15 ”In quietness and trust is your strength.” NIV
