Natural Surroundings

For Holy Thursday's evening of Adoration, the Contemplative Sisters enlisted the ladies of the Eagle Eye Institute to help them create the Garden of Gethsemene in our conference center. We spent the morning traipsing through the woods near the priory for moss and grass to use to make it more authentic. And then when we were finished we placed candles throughout. Sr. Theresa Marie and I ran over to the Conference Center at the end of Mass when they were processing over with the Eucharist to light the candles and then they had all-night adoration.
