Summary
When was the last time you truly felt at rest? Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas kick off the Lenten season by exploring the theme of leisure as the secret weapon of the spiritual life based on Joseph Pieper's work 'Leisure, the Basis of Culture'. The Sisters explain the differences between true leisure and mere entertainment and emphasize how leisure, grounded in a childlike spirit and a deep relationship with God, can lead to a life of hope and fulfillment.
