Tucson Happenings – Other Events of Interest
Well folks, there are so many events going on in town that it is silly to try to list them all. Sufficet to say that this month is a time of
Reflection: A time to remember the things of this past year that have been significant for us in a positive and negative way.
Celebration: Choose to grow from those reflections by discarding the negative, assimilate the positive and rejoice in the new way you’ve transformed.
Joy: Experience this deep sense of complexity of the world in which we live. Experience the deep sense of satisfaction when the things you do changes lives.
Experience the deep sense of love for those that are so very special and for the one who loves you more than you can imagine – God.
Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you, Via de Dios

FRIDAY, JULY 24
Fr. Ron Rolheiser
Spiritual Principles Drawn from the Deep Wells of Christian Mysticism
Prayer is the opposite of multi-tasking. It is the gathering of the mind, body, emotions, thoughts, and spirit into the same geography and inviting God to be present there. In this retreat we will gather (safely) as a community to explore praying in color—the visual, active, and meditative prayer practice introduced in the 2007 book Praying in Color: Drawing A New Path to God and its 2020 expanded/updated version. If you are word-weary, restless, antsy, or anxious in prayer or just looking for a new way to connect to God, come explore the versatile practice called praying in color.
