On the day of the #incarnation, the immensity of God arrived into the arms of Mary and Joseph. And still today we marvel, wonder, and treasure this mystery.

If you received ashes on your forehead today, receive them into your heart as well. You are indeed dust in the hands of Creator who makes beautiful things out of the dust. 💚 youtu.be/Sqy1a_Gz0zQ

PRAYER OF ST. BRENDAN "Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown. Give me the faith to leave old ways and break fresh ground with You. Tune my spirit to the music of heaven, and somehow, make my obedience count for You." AMEN.

We recognize that our relationships have been so forged around our mission tasks, that we’ve forgotten how to “do life” with others in a fully human and soul-honest way. We invite you to join us as “friends on the road” at the “Second Half Collaborative” 2HC.life!

A donor helped us add a book from Scott Erickson & Justin McRoberts to every nightstand of our guestrooms, alongside the Common Prayer book we’d previously placed. May each of our guests feel the simple call of Christ to rest. 😌 🙏
