Jayne's Candidacy Ceremony

          Jayne Schauer is a New Candidate for the Sisters of the Holy Names - we are having a ceremony today at Holy Names Academy to fully welcome her into our lives.  Hurray - it is so gratifying to have wonderful women joining us in this magnificent sisterhood.  Jayne is a Counselor and Occupational Therapist - a contemplative woman with so many gifts to share with all.  She has been involved here at St. Anne's parish and many of her friends and co-workers are joining us today to congratulate her.  We also have SNJM sisters and inquirers visiting from Portland area to help celebrate also.

      Tonight I host our Co-Worker monthly gathering for Young Adults interested in spirituality and service.  I will give a presentation on Daily Prayer practice and also on The Presence Process by Michael Brown - this has been a transformative process for me and many others.  It involves a twice daily continuous breathing technique for 15 minutes - plus saying some incredible activating sentences - very gentle but powerful way to come more fully into the Present Moment - escaping the prison of our time fixated consciousness. 

-  Happy Easter season to each of you - much love, Cathy

Cathy, you are such an awesome presence out there, it isn't any wonder you would pray that way too! I am so glad you are updating more often now so I can keep in touch with you in a current way. Keep up the good work, and praise God for more women. Have you been over to Cast Fire to see what I did with the photos of our newer members? We may need to update that picture now. Hugs, K
