Fridays of Lent (Feb 20-Apr 3) • 7:00-7:45pm on Zoom
Limited to 12 Participants | $15 Materials Fee
Enter more deeply into the beauty, mystery, and transformative power of Scripture this Lent through Seeing the Word, a lectio divina–based series using illuminations from The Saint John’s Bible. Each week we will pray with a different illumination, exploring how sacred art opens the heart to encounter Christ in new and contemplative ways.
Guided by Travis Salisbury, this small-group experience invites participants to rest, reflect, and share within a supportive, Benedictine-inspired community. Each session concludes with online Compline or an Ignatian-style Examen, sending us into the night grounded in peace.
All sessions take place on Zoom.
Printed Seeing the Word materials will be mailed in advance, so timely registration is essential. The program is limited to 12 participants for the full seven-week journey.
