Are you struggling with a personal relationship? Wrestling with priorities? Facing a moral or ethical dilemma? Considering a career change? Searching for your true path in life? A discernment group offers a prayerful, informed, intentional effort to seek God's guidance. A team of parishioners in St. Paul's Cathedral has been trained to work together in groups of three to help you develop a clearer sense of direction as you wrestle with issues large or small. For more information, contact Susan Ward: 619-437-7287 or susanward961@sbcglobal.net.
A labyrinth is a meditation tool. One gently and slowly traces its path with one's footsteps while contemplating an idea. The difference between a maze and a labyrinth is that a maze is designed to trap and confound, while a labyrinth serves as a mediative space to be alone with one's thoughts and feelings; it is a time to reflect on the many fractured emotions that drive us. By the time one completes its course, thoughts and feelings are digested and ultimately reaching the center, one is renewed with purpose and the strength to complete life’s journey. Many churches in our diocese have labyrinths including: St. Paul's Cathedral in San Diego, St. David's in San Diego; St. Barnabas in Borrego Springs and others.
