Throughout these pandemic months many of us have suffered from a weariness and the languishing feeling of loneliness and isolation. St Basil's CWL is honoured to invite parishioners and friends to an inspirational reflection on loneliness by Sr, Rosemary O'Toole, CSJ.

Sr. Rosemary is a spiritual director and adult faith educator who has ministered at The Upper Room Home of Prayer in Ottawa for thirty-eight years. She loves to be with God's people shining light on the faith mystery encouraging us to live with more freedom, depth and joy.

This presentation will guide us through accepting our feelings and suggest practices for self-compassion that will help us cope. We will learn about the Three Types of Loneliness: Existential Loneliness, Emotional Loneliness and Social Loneliness. The climax of the presentation will be a spiritual invitation to move from loneliness to solitude....and embrace the gifts of this “dark night” experience.
