The Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation Office invites you to reflect on the daily readings during this Easter Season. For some this may be a spring board for meditation, for others a source of insight and for others the beginning or renewal of a mystical relationship with our God. However the Spirit leads you, may you experience peace
