A Quiet Day at Saint Barnabas

– From 9:30am to 1pm | Sanctuary + Z_o_o_m –

The Rev Robert Berra leads this session

Love: The Eternal Criterion

As our monthly Quiet Day coincides with Valentine’s Day, let us dwell with Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 13 and to listen for what love truly asks of us. Through prayerful reading, guided reflection, and shared silence, we will linger with love as more than romance and sentiment, but as the measure by which all things are tested. This day invites us to notice where love is already shaping our lives—and where it is still calling us deeper. On a day known for cards and chocolates, we pause to attend to the love that never ends.

The contemplative life is quite simple and accessible to everyone. It is simply the intention to pause, to be still, and, by faith, to rest in Christ’s presence. Quiet Day includes reflections by the Rev. Robert Berra, quiet, solitary time, and sessions of communal silent prayer in the Sanctuary. Participants are welcome to the Sanctuary, to quiet areas for reading or journaling, or to walk our beautiful campus. The day concludes with the Holy Eucharist. Please bring your Bible..
