April 20: Threshold – Pilgrimage of Resurrection(A Creative Journey through the Easter Season)

Monday , April 20, 2015 : Threshold

[The Desert Mothers and Fathers] journey into the desert was the crossing of a threshold towards an intentional awareness of God’s presence and recognizing that worldly pleasures bring little long-term satisfaction. The aim was to experience God in each moment and activity.
