Gnarled Yet Graced: Christ’s Call to Deeper Connection in a World That Pulls Us Apart

Political battles divide families. Consumer culture breeds isolation. Social media promises connection yet leaves us hungry for authentic presence. Research underscores these challenges. Beneath these surface tensions lies a deeper spiritual reality – our profound hunger for genuine communion with God and one another.  

The Gospel offers us a powerful image: Christ as the True Vine, the ultimate reconciler, connecting all humanity in a living network of grace. Through this lens, even our most challenging relationships reveal unexpected opportunities for divine encounter. Drawing from Scripture and Ignatian spirituality, Fr. John Meehan will discuss how prayerful attention transforms our approach to difference and conflict, opening pathways to genuine community.

You may also consider the following clauses in your Will:
