Women's Weekend
Friday 12 to sunday 14 November, 2010
Women's Weekend of Prayer
"I believe there is no alternative for women except
contemplation, if they are to avoid the trivialization of their own religious
experience... The contemplative love experience, which is beyond conscious
control and is not given on demand, is concerned not for the image of
God...but with God...What is critical to see is that one has to allow
the experience to take place through a love that is gradually welling
up from the ground of one's being."
