Healing the Wounds of Our Time
Our world, wrapped in immense beauty, hope and sacredness, also, carries profound wounds that both touch us deeply and transcend us. At the core of these wounds is the spiritual disconnection from the Merciful One…from one another…and from our sacred creation. These wounds cry out to be heard, tended , healed, and transformed. Attentive to these cries and shaped by the critical concerns of the Sisters of Mercy, Cranaleith leans particularly into ruptures centered on Earth, Racism, Immigration, Women, Nonviolence and Those on the Margins and the intersectionality inherent in them. These cries shape our programming and invite us into a contemplation that leads to action towards the repair and transformation of these wounds of our time.
