Friends of the Sisters: We Walk the Path Together

October 4, 2022 @ 11:00 am

About:

These days we are witnessing increased social division in our national politics, our churches, and in our families. Just watching the news creates angst and distress. How do we navigate this, and how might Zen offer a perspective that could broaden our view? Sr. Pat Farrell, OP, will share with us her experience with Zen meditation and teaching, and how that has deepened her spirituality. The Dominican mystic Meister Eckhart wrote in the 13th/14th century, “What is today? Eternity!” At the door of Deer Park Monastery, founded by the late Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is his quote, “The Kingdom of God is now or never.”

About the Presenter:

Sister Pat is presently the Resident Manager of our Rose Court affordable housing apartments in San Francisco. She has served the congregation as Hosting Manager at Santa Sabina Center, our retreat center, and in congregational leadership. She also served the larger family of Dominican sisters in the U.S. as the Executive Director of the Dominican Sisters Conference. Sister Pat is a Zen teacher and enjoys sharing how Zen and Christianity complement each other.
