“Day of Recollection”
Fr. Jim Van Vurst, OFM
Thursday, March 17, 2011
10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
For Lent this year, St. Leonard invited Fr. Jim Van Vurst, OFM, to facilitate a “Day of Recollection”. Nearly 40 residents participated in the day. Fr. Jim’s talks included “Our Journey into Life”, emphasizing significant points in each person’s lifeline, and the value of reflecting on those times of change, spiritually. Father, an accomplished artist, then gave a demonstration of water color painting, using the process and the finished work as a metaphor for life. His concluding talk focused more on death as a journey in time that becomes our journey into eternity. One of the highlights of the day was when a drawing was held for the painting Fr. Jim had created as a part of the retreat. Martha Greenwell is the pleased new owner of
Fr. Jim’s latest painting!
