A blessing from Kate Bowler as we begin Holy Week.
Bless you, witnessing the crumbling world—
the disasters too fresh to mend,
the losses that will not be restored,
the cracks that will never be filled.
Blessed are we, searching for hope:
for peace breaking through like dawn,
for the hungry to be fed,
for pain to be relieved.
Kate Bowler. “For When Good News is Hard to Find” in
Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day: Daily Meditations for the Ups,
Downs, and In-Betweens. (New York: Convergent Books, 2024).

Do you see this barred owl hidden in its nest? A heart-shaped wound from a fallen branch in the tree has become a nest of new life for the owl. May we learn from the wisdom of Creation. #lorettoretreats #MondayMusings

Let’s close out this Women’s History Month with deep gratitude to Sister Elaine Prevallet who tended Knobs Haven for 21 years, coaxing it from bud to full flower between 1978 and 1999. Where would Knobs Haven, and many of us, be without her? #LorettoRetreats #MondayMusings

Sweetheart
A sweet lady!
S. Elaine was my French teacher and basketball coach in early 60s. Fond memories. Best wishes to you. Sally Drain Ide
”I will not tire of declaring that if we really want an effective end to violence we must remove the violence that lies at the root of all violence: structural violence, social injustice, exclusion of citizens from the management of the country, repression. All this is what constitutes the primal cause, from which the rest flows naturally.”
Words of Archbishop Oscar Romero, martyred March 24, 2025. (Icon by Br. Robert Lentz OFM) #lorettoretreats #MondayMusings
