Lenten Visio Divina, March 28

March 23, 2018

Campus Ministry and the Garaventa Center invite you to join with others from the UP community for Lenten Visio Divina during Holy Week on Wednesday, March 28, at 12:35 p.m., following noon Mass. Visio Divina is an ancient form of Christian prayer in which we allow our hearts and imaginations to enter into a sacred image, in silence, to see what God might have to say to us. Our meditation will focus on an illumination from The Saint John’s Bible. All are welcome. For ADA accommodations or more information: garaventa@up.edu or x7702.
