A Letter from the Executive Director

Posted on

Dear Friends,

This past weekend we marked World Labyrinth Day with 65 participants who helped us celebrate the restoration of our Labyrinth. The day had a contemplative spirit as we envisioned thousands of others walking labyrinths in different time zones creating a rolling wave of peaceful energy throughout the globe. Today’s world so fraught with war, political division, a shocking rise in gun violence, and so much unrest, calls us to set our intention to prayerfully walk as one for a world with peace. As agents of peace, wherever we are, let us call to mind our intention that there be peace on Earth within our global family.

We are deeply grateful for all who contributed to the restoration, donors, volunteers, staff. The new brick in the Mercy by the Sea labyrinth has been purposefully placed alongside the original stone, holding the long lineage of guests who have walked the labyrinth since 1998, and Mercy friendships present and emerging. You are now welcome to walk the labyrinth when you visit Mercy by the Sea, stepping into the circular pathway, a divine imprint. It is soaked in prayer and hopes for peace and harmony, a peace that will emerge when we make conscious choices for the good of the world’s environment, creatures, and people.  

In Mercy,

Sr. Anne Curtis, RSM
Executive Director
