Dear Friends,
At Mercy by the Sea we have been so blessed with donors, volunteers and staff who have been restoring our labyrinth. As a “re-inauguration,” we are looking forward to participating in World Labyrinth Day on May 4 to “Walk as One at 1”. It is an annual international event founded in 2009 by The Labyrinth Society to globally walk a labyrinth as one at 1:00 p.m. with the purpose of creating a rolling wave of peace and prayer moving around the globe.
Walking the labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice — a way to quiet our minds and open our hearts and spirits to the presence of the Holy. Every step is a prayer to foster a sense of contemplation and transformation for oneself and the world.
We will celebrate the restoration of the labyrinth and join the global community on this day with a variety of events. For more information click here.
We are compelled to act for peace at this time with so many of our sisters and brothers suffering from war and violence, as well as Earth crying out for our care and relief of suffering. The day will be a moving meditation for world peace. You might want to pause at 1:00 p.m. on May 4 to join your prayer to this wave of peace around the world. …"guide our feet into the path of peace." (Luke 1:79)
In Mercy,
