Gardens are the best places on earth to rediscover Resurrection Hope and Eternal Joy. Join artist, author, and story-teller Brother Mickey McGrath as he shares his paintings and stories of saints and prophets from across time who remind us in these turbulent times that our hearts and souls are gardens teeming with new life and brilliant color... and Christ is the Gardener! From Mary Magdalene on that first Easter morning to Dorothy Day in our own times, we will be reminded that "in the end, beauty will save the world." Creative prayer activity will be included.

Preparing for your own funeral and contemplating your final wishes can present you with creative and prayerful opportunities to let go of your fears and anxieties and welcome the Holy Spirit into every present moment. What gospel and other scripture readings mean the most to you? Who are the special people who have gone home to God before you and who support you still? What scares you the most and what brings you the most hope and joy?
