Pentecost
Pentecost
Beguiled by Beauty
Cultivating a Life of Contemplation and Compassion begins on Pentecost Monday and flows through the long, green season of the Spirit. In this spacious and sacred time, we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit’s life-giving presence moving among us and within us. Together, we will attune our hearts to Divine Goodness—the God who delights in every shimmer of beauty, from the glow of sunrise over our neighborhoods to the quiet kindness shared in everyday moments.
You are invited to come just as you are—no perfect words, no special preparation—only a willing heart, open to encounter love, wonder, and transformation. Each week, we will practice stillness and sacred attention, learning to see with the eyes of the heart and live in awe of the beauty woven into all creation.
In this season of Pentecost, let us rejoice. Let us be renewed. Let us fall more deeply in love with God, with one another, and with the world we are called to cherish.
“Let us come alive to the splendour that is all around us and see the beauty in ordinary things.”
—Thomas Merton
