life and books of the late Henri Nouwen, Sr.Sue Mosteller, CSJ will deepen the themesof coming home to self, coming home to lovedones, and coming home to the One whomade us. Sue is a Sister of St. Joseph and along-time member of the L’Arche Daybreak

The Psalms Speaking “For Us”
University of Chicago theologian, the Rev.Martin Marty, once said this about the psalms’unique role in biblical literature: “The Bible
speaks to us, but the psalms speak for us.”Expressing almost every human emotionimaginable, the psalms convey the honest– and sometimes shocking – sentiments of the human soul’s encounter with God. Assuch, they have ever been a rich source forprayer when our individual spiritual “wells”
are running dry. This day of prayer andlearning will encourage participants to engagethe psalms in new and life-giving ways,
