Join us as we pray with St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the "Lily of the Mohawks," who is the first Indigenous person of North America to be canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church.  St. Kateri was not a stranger to suffering, experiencing the cross from an early age, she overcame tremendous obstacles, loss, and pain with Jesus at her side.  Allow her to be your companion on this healing journey with Jesus and find rest for your suffering heart. 


Fr. Antony Tinker, FHS will lead your suffering heart to an encounter with Jesus through reflections on St. Kateri's life and example.  Fr. Antony will encourage you to examine your own heart's cracks and wounds to allow the healing power of Jesus to make it new.  


Day 1: What is Healing of the Heart?

Day 2: Repentance and Forgiveness

Day 3: Overcoming Lies

Day 4: Opening Your Heart to Healing

Day 5: Uniting Our Suffering to Jesus and Mary
