"Gone Fishin'"

By Melannie Svoboda SND | August 6, 2018 |

Just a reminder: there is no new post for today. I’m giving myself a little break. My next post will be next Monday, August 13th. If you’re missing Sunflower Seeds too much, I suggest you go to “Search” on the lower right, type in a topic or a Monday date (including the year) and see what comes up…

Thank you so much!

Sister Melannie,
Just a note of thanks. I utilized your ‘Letter to a Friend’ (7/30/18) for my homily this past weekend, to show the connection between God’s love for us (Divine Love) and how we are to share that love with others. Thanks for the inspiration. Best, Jim, Deacon at Sacred Heart Parish, Pullman, WA

  Dear Jim, Thank you for letting me know that the “Letter to a Friend” inspired you to share your thoughts on God’s love in your homily. I’m always happy to see the Holy Spirit at work like this. Blessings on you and your ministry in Pullman, WA! Melannie

I will be leading a Zoom retreat entitled “Spirituality: The Call to Holiness and Wholeness” Friday, Oct. 29 (7:30 pm-8:30 pm Central) and Saturday, Oct. 30 (9:30 am-2:30 pm Central). Sponsored by the Sophia Spirituality Center in Atchison, KS, the retreat will explore what is meant by the word spirituality. Then it will focus on some of the signs of a healthy spirituality such as love, respect for nature, courage in dealing with adversity, and hope. Check out the website for further details: www.sophiaspiritualitycenter.org. I’d love to meet some of you during this retreat!

I will be leading an afternoon reflection entitled “Unwrapping the Gifts of Advent: Peace, Courage, and Hope.” It will be held at the Franciscan Center in Tampa, FL on Tuesday, November 30 from 2:00 pm (Eastern) to 4:30 pm (Eastern). I will be there in person, but the afternoon will also be offered online as well. Check the website for details: https://www.franciscancentertampa.org. I hope some of you can sign up for this “prayerful Advent pause.”
