I go to church, not because of any legalistic or moralistic reasons, but because I am a hungry sheep who needs to be fed. ~ Madeleine L’Engle
Sundays…I love them. Sabbath Days to rest and reflect. Today I went to One Heart Winnipeg—a gathering of almost 13,000 Christians at the MTS Centre, seeking unity amongst people in our city. It was my first time at the event. I am ecumenical at heart though Catholic to the core. This morning’s worship was good for hungry sheep, those who desire praise and worship.
Last night I was at mass at Stony Mountain Institution. My parish has a prison ministry and attends chapel service there once a month. I try to go as often as I can with them. I cannot seem to worship without translating it into action. The inmates need to be fed on all kinds of levels and while we are not there to evangelize we do support and encourage the guys on their journey.
Tonight, I had supper with a small community called Chemin Neuf which is looking at starting up here in Winnipeg. We meet monthly to pray and share life together. That feeds me too. Busy for a Sabbath day but I feel happily full.
