Joigny weekends are always an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. You learn from the experience of others. Every time, you leave feeling energized and light-hearted.
Embroidery is light and beautiful. Embroidery is magical because the mind is guided by the hand. You settle down. Talk, discuss.
We can see: Claude, Marie-Claude, Annie (former Marmoutier students), Sister Agnieszka.
The Alliance between embroidery and religious reflection is thread! The embroidery thread takes us on a journey of knowledge of God with the heart and under the benevolent eye of Madeleine-Sophie!
The theme of reflection was Pope Francis’ Encyclical “Dilexit Nos”: the divine and human love of the Heart of Christ. This encyclical (letter from the Pope) is a reflection on the spirituality of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a study of the place of the heart in theology, social life and ecology.
And let’s not forget that this year is the centenary of the canonization of Madeleine-Sophie Barat!
Alternating back and forth between embroidery and reflection/discussion allows us to delve deeper.
Le thème de réflexion était l’Encyclique de Pape François “Dilexit Nos” : l’amour divin et humain du Coeur du Christ. Cette encyclique (lettre du Pape) est une réflexion sur la spiritualité du Sacré-Coeur de Jésus, une étude sur la place du coeur dans la théologie, la vie sociale et dans l’écologie.
Et puis n’oublions pas que cette année est le centenaire de la canonisation de Madeleine -Sophie Barat !
L’alternance, l’aller-retour entre broderie et réflexion/discussion permet l’approfondissement.
But the day’s not over yet! In the evening, Marie-Claude and I learned how to use pastels!
It’s hard not to leave with a light heart, full of hope and strength. Thank you Sister Agnieszka, thank you friends!
