Spiritual Practices
- The Examen helps us reflect on the day and discern what changes we might make in order to live more faithfully the next day.
- Ignatian Prayer encourages us to use our imagination to enter into a Scripture passage in order to experience the truth of the Gospel.
- Using the senses to perceive God’s will for us is characteristic of Franciscan prayer, which always leads to application and action.
Walking the Labyrinth
- Epiphany Labyrinth Hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Sanctuary is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The labyrinth is available for walking during these times unless services or events are taking place.
The labyrinth is an ancient tool for prayer and walking meditation. The design of Epiphany’s labyrinth is patterned after the one at Chartres Cathedral in France. The single path takes the walker through three experiences: shedding and letting go during the walk to the center, union with God at the center of the design, awareness of spiritual calls and ministry on the walk back out.
