SUMMARY:Coffee Talks — Embracing Compassion: A Journey into the Heart of Humanity
DESCRIPTION:Monthly coffee talks at Oldenburg Franciscan Center. \n\n\n\nWith Fr. Ed Kinerk\, SJ\, Spiritual Director \n\n\n\nJoin us on a transformative exploration into the essence of humanity through the lens of compassion. Compassion means to suffer with someone\, not necessarily literally but by being present and sympathetic. God showed his love for us by becoming one of us and literally sharing our sufferings and even death. We show our compassion by being aware of the sufferings of those we love and being present to them as much as is possible.

How to ground that vision—ecologically and spiritually—remains a formidable challenge\, the aspects of which will be explored in this retreat/workshop.  \n\n\n\nCome spend the mornings with us as we welcome Diarmuid O’Murchu online from Ireland. Spend the afternoon and evenings in reflection at Prairiewoods or in your own home.  \n\n\n\nAbout Diarmuid O’Murchu\n\n\n\nDiarmuid O’Murchu\, a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order and a graduate of Trinity College in Dublin\, Ireland\, is a social psychologist whose early working life had been in social ministry\, predominantly in London.
