    Advent: To Seek and to Save the Lost
    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

    The Advent season returns us to the incarnation of the Christ-spirit and its power to restore us in hope and renew us in purpose.

Nor does the suggestion that we are somehow lost! Yet, in setting aside time to listen with the ear of our hearts to Jesus, to Luke, to each other and to our own inner longings – we may find ourselves newly ...

  • Lent Series: Teach Us to Pray

    Lent Series: Teach Us to Pray
    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

    Prayer is a pillar of Benedictine life, an essential in the spiritual life and a principal theme of Jesus' life.

Come to this series and listen to what Jesus says about prayer, see how ...
