Formation Day at Mayslake Village with Fr. Rich Young

Join us at the Mayslake Village Senior Living: 1801 35th St. Oak Brook IL, 60523 from 9am to 3:30pm for Mass and Presentation.

Marked for Life, Marked for Love

Presenter: Fr. Richard Young, O.S.A., D.Min.

This Formation Day is a journey of spiritual reflection and transformation centered on the mystery of the Cross and the Stigmata, drawing deeply from the life and spirituality of S.t Francis of Assisi. Participants, you will explore your personal relationship with Christ’s Passion, your own life wounds, and the call to live out these marks in love and solidarity with others. The sessions will offer a profound opportunity for you to engage with the core mysteries of Christian faith, to recognize the marks they bear as signs of Christ’s love, and to commit yourselves to living these marks in service to others. As Brother Francis said at this Transitus:

“I have done what was mine to do; may Christ teach you what is yours to do.”
