Dear Friends of Contemplative Life Ministry,
We are temporarily suspending our Contemplative Life Ministry offerings. As a community, we have felt the need to take a step back for the next six months and discern the future direction of this wonderful ministry at the Church of Our Saviour.
We have been greatly blessed to meet so many spiritual companions from the San Gabriel and Los Angeles areas. Thank you for the gift of your presence and prayers. Please check back with us in the new year for up-to-date information on the ministry. We look forward to continuing our pilgrimage with you in the future.
I weave a silence on my lips.
I weave a silence on my mind.
I weave a silence within my heart.
I close my ears to distractions.
I close my eyes to attentions.
I close my heart to temptations.
Calm me, o Lord,
as you stilled the storm.
Still me, o Lord,
keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease.
Enfold me Lord in your peace.
--Traditional Celtic prayer
