Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic all Angela Merici Center Programs have been cancelled until further notice. Please join us in praying for our country and the world as we face this crisis together even though physically separated from one another. During these months we will be offering reflections and prayer opportunities to support, encourage, nurture and connect. Please follow our Guided Meditations videos below, and visit the Ponderings of the Heart page for these reflections. Also, join us on Facebook @amcspirituality for more.
May you and all those you love stay safe and grounded in the reality of God’s love and care for each one of us.
Opportunities for Contemplative Prayer: A Guided Meditation
The Angela Merici Center for Spirituality is offering a monthly guided meditation via its Facebook page: www.facebook.com/amcspirituality, or on its website, www.amcspirituality.org, on the Programs page. This is the first offering of a new series, Opportunities for Contemplative Prayer, that will be posted on the fourth Monday of the month. It is our hope and prayer that you will receive what you need and desire from these opportunities.

Discernment: Discovering God’s Will in Everyday Life
What is God’s will? How do I know if a certain decision is God’s will? Is there a difference between my heart’s desire and God’s will? The basis of this workshop is that God is always speaking to us and that discernment is a holistic spiritual practice that helps us
to understand what God is trying to say. Topics will include: What is discernment, distinguishing spirits of truth and falsehood, using our own lives and other tools for discernment, knowing when to wait and when to act.
