Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist

On Sunday I went to a Dominican convent in Ann Arbor. The Convent is for the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist. Me and a couple friends sat in and prayed the evening prayer (vespers) and rosary with them. The convents chapel was beautiful and pictures will follow soon. Evening prayer was chanted by the Sisters, with organ music, and than they lead the rosary and the Angelus. The experience was very eye opening to how universal and unified we are in our prayers, and how beautiful a gift Sisters are through there service and Love for the Lord.

Random Goodness

During a sushi lunch with my pastoral leader Miguel, who is an affiliate with Servants of the Word. We were talking about prayer time, and when we were finished our meal two women who were sitting behind us said that they overheard us talking about prayer. We told them that we were indeed and introduced ourselves. They than said that they were here from Dallas for a prayer event that was taking place on the University of Michigan campus, they than asked if we could pray together. So we brought forth intentions surround the events that were both going on for us in UCO, for there event and for the gift of unity God has given us. We prayed for about 5 mins standing in the sushi resturant and it was so good.

This awesome experience gave me a a better understanding of the vastness of unity we have with other people through God and the power of prayer. The genuiness of asking others to pray with yourself brings prayer to a very real level.
