Beguine House

A Mass in the Middle of the Night will be held at 11 p.m. EST on August 3, 2022, for people who are struggling. Prayer requests are welcome--please feel free to post below or send a text or message to the chaplain ([email protected]). A candle will be lit for everyone whose name is submitted or who likes this post. This service (with sermon) will be broadcast on Facebook Live.

On Sundays during Lent, I'll be posting reflections on being a solitary religious and what it means to be a contemporary beguine. I welcome your comments, your postings, your reflections, and reactions.

Some of these postings may be written; others may be video presentations. Let me know what you think.

This Friday (March 27, 11 p.m. EST), the Oratory will broadcast the Middle of the Night Mass on Facebook Live. It will include words of hope in these troubling and often dark times.

Its intention will be for all who are struggling, both those who are finding it hard to cope with the coronavirus epidemic and its physical, emotional, and physical effects, and those who face their own personal darknesses.

One feature of the Mass in the Middle of the Night will be the lighting of candles. If you would like to be remembered in the Mass, or you know someone whom you would like included, or if you would simply like a candle lit for you for any reason, please like this post, or comment below. You are also welcome to send a private message to the Chaplain at [email protected].

You are not alone.
