The other evening we had a Pilgrims’ shared prayer and meal evening, ten or so of us members of L’Arche Kent. We prayed:
Father in heaven,
May the holy season of Lent
bring us your blessing and your forgiveness
and the gift of your light.
We had hearts printed on card and filled them with light, and pictures and words to represent our homes and the people we wanted to share in God’s blessing and light. Art in L’Arche.
My reflection afterwards was more on the practical details (it’s important to get these right!) so it was good to be recalled to the joys of Art in L’Arche by someone hiding behind the name interwebconvos who has been writing about her/his experience of art in L’Arche. S/he also shared these blogs:
Here you can read of an encounter with an artist at L’Arche Daybreak in Toronto, and here is Debra’s account of making pumpkin pies at L’Arche.
It was good to be reminded of these events, and to remember encounters and conversations in my own life with L’Arche. I won’t start now, I’ve given you enough reading material for one day!
The pebble heart was from another friend, one we ought to introduce to L’Arche some time!
