Today we listen to the words of Gianna Gobbi from her book Listening to God with Children. We have part of chapter 5 and part of chapter 6 as a way to help prepare ourselves for the beginning of the year in the atrium. The pages read include pages 41 through 53. Then Mary Mirrione joins us for a short discussion on this reading lifting up some important pieces from this beautiful work.
This precious book of Gianna’s has unfortunately been out of print for 2 years. We have been actively working on a new book which will contain Gianna’s legacy with updated information and new content. We hope to have this published by next Spring. We will be keeping everyone informed though our Member Memos and In the Meadow emails which come monthly to our members.
