Mary of Magdala Announcements

Weekly Monday Morning Peace Prayer

Peace reaches deep into our psyche to heal and renew. It radiates from the deepest place within us.While it seems that all creation and institutional bodies are in chaos, Jesus still calls us to the Peace of Christ (John 20.21). It is that Peace within us that radiates outward.

“Where two or more are gathered, there I am in your midst”

(Matt 18:19-20).

If you have the inclination and 20 minutes, please join us in prayer Pray with us for peace in the world and within ourselves. 

Monday mornings at 9am on this Zoom link
