Today, we had our first breakfast as a group at our hotel, our first evening gathering, our first dinner at the hotel, and our first evening prayer together as a group. How exciting it is to be introduced to one another and begin to live in community in this way!

We were also introduced to the Season of Advent and her Symbols and Cycles, and her hidden wisdom, as we invited a deepened sense of clarity and new insights through presence to the Holy, the Self, and the unique landscape of Assisi’s sacred ground.

On this, The Feast of Saint Andrew, we meditate on the words of Matthew 4:18-22 “They left their nets and followed…”

Contemplation:

What might be some of the “nets” you have left behind in the past? What might be some “nets” you are ready to let go of?
