Give a different kind of Valentine’s Day Gift to each other this year - a day together on LBI to nurture and celebrate the gift of the marriage relationship with love as the center.  Imago relationship dialogue has tremendous potential to…guide you on a spiritual path that leads to joy and aliveness…” Harville Hendrix

True communication requires two people to share a deep level of understanding about their needs, concerns or feelings. Often we are not tuned in deeply enough to really share on this level. This seminar can help married/engaged couples enrich their lives through dialogue.

Sister Catherine Morrisett, SC is a staff therapist at Grace Counseling Center in Madison, NJ and a certified Imago Relationship therapist. She is a Fellow of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors and a Clinical Member of the Association of Imago Relationship Therapy.

Saturday, March 24^th, 2012, 10am – 3:30pm. Day concludes with 4pm vigil mass for Sunday.

 

Major developments in science and theology challenge today’s believers to look at new ways of understanding and appropriating traditional faith values. 

 

Drawing on insights from the “Universe Story”, this day of reflection is intended to suggest new ways of envisioning the mystery of the Triune God, to encourage a deeper spiritual life and to offer hope for Christians as they continue their journey of faith. The format will include presentations, sharing and questions.

We have been aging since the day we were born, but as we grow older we become a bit more conscious of it. However, our elder years offer us many amazing opportunities to grow in and with Grace. 

 

We will explore together various and helpful ways to age with grace-full-ness. Our day will include insightful presentations, reflective time and Eucharistic liturgy at the side of the ageless sea.

“Our Lady of Sorrows” is a title that is familiar to many of us. A less known devotion is the “Seven Joys of Mary” that portray the experiences of joy in her life. 

 

How did she and how do we discover the presence of God within these seemingly contradictory experiences of life?
