Day of Reflection on St. John's Gospel

Led by Fr. John Farrell OP and Sr. Marie-Henry Keane OP

In the gospel of John the words and actions of Jesus cross the centuries and generations and speak directly to us in our own time, our own situation. We hear our Good Shepherd calling us by name. The Day of Reflection is a chance to grow in our sensitivity to this special gospel in which we are called to "abide" in Christ, "testify" to his "works", "listen to this voice" and be fruitful as branches of the one Vine.
