Standing Vigil: A Retreat with Sunday's Gospel
With Rev. Paul Tillman
February 1, 2020
Join the journey from text to pulpit as we follow the Spirit, through prayer and reflection, deeper into the Word of God and shed light on the challenges of life and the persistence of divine grace. Paul Tillman, an Oblate and pastor, guides this afternoon of “standing vigil” (no you don’t stand the whole time) of prayer, meditation, and conversation about the Sunday Gospel. Then join the Sisters for Vigil, where we hear Paul’s reflection on the text and end the evening together over dinner. The Epiphany text of the day is Luke 2:22-40. When Jesus presents himself into my life, am I moved to peace, pain, or praise?
