Grief comes to us in many forms.  A loss of a life style or a life dear to me or a job, friends, health, expectations great and small or perhaps an image of myself that I can held no longer and now I have to relinquish for whatever reason.  When we experience loss in any of these or a multitude of other forms, we grieve.  We believe that grieving is a gift, sometimes difficult to accept, and always a personal challenge, but a gift nonetheless.

We also believe that grief is not only a necessary and healthy response to loss but it is an invitation from God and a spiritual opportunity for new ways to understand and to be in our lives.  For in the midst of grief we can know God a new. 

On March 13, if you are hurting from a loss or grieving in some place in your life and find yourself longing for God’s presence and comfort, come join us at Bon Secours Spiritual Center. We will spend that day seeking the consolation of God and praying with psalms, scripture and our stories to share strength with one another and to discover a way through our grief to better opportunities and hope beyond our grief. 

No matter what the cause or the effect of your grief, there is hope to be had. Come, find and share it with us on March 13.  Your guides are Thomas Little Ed.D and Nancy Narrett M. Ed. The place is Marriottsville and this invitation is an opportunity for you.  We look forward to seeing you at Bon Secours.
