About this Book: |
|
Though the Holy Ones presented here may seem to be extraordinary, we actually experience them day to day in people we know and within ourselves. Living in the presence of Godde through the seeds we receive from the Holy Ones nourishes our inner life. This calendar invites us to employ image, imagination and memory to visit seed beds of our lives and become the holy ones who sow seeds in others.
France White, SHCJ (a Sister of the Holy Child Jesus for over 50 years) offers you, in images and prayers, fruits of her experience of being touched by the Divine. They invite you to open yourself to the sacredness of your ordinary life and the holiness of ordinary people and to bring sacred, Divine presence into your encounters with others.
