THE HOSEA MINISTRY
Spreading the Compassion & Forgiveness of Christ
"Madonna and Child" by Kathryn Carrington
Visit her website.
We join you in prayer and gratitude
and stand united with you in seeking the Light of Christ in everyday
life,
and striving to be the Light of Christ for our world in great need of
his peace and healing compassion.
- Gregory Norbet and Kathryn Carrington
God of Peace, may your peace be.
God of Love, may your love we share.
Keep alive in us, as day fades into night,
your compassion, your great mercy for all.
Bless God with full heart as you wait with love.
Lift your hands in praise,
raise your eyes with hope,
and know the Holy One you seek is here.
-Lyrics of "God Of Peace" by Gregory Norbet

Mission
The Hosea ministry offers
retreats, conferences, concerts, workshops and preaching in churches, schools,
colleges, religious congregations, medical centers, nursing homes, prisons, and
hospice programs throughout the United States and Canada. It is continually
called upon to assist communities, institutions and individuals in their
attempts to develop their ability to serve others by developing their spiritual
capacities and commitments.
We present a context in which
persons can reflect, pray, discern and commit to living a spiritual way of
life, while providing information, skills and encouragement that enable them to
do so. |

Vision
It is the vision of the Hosea
Foundation to extend its mission by establishing a contemplative center where
those in ministry, other individuals and groups can come together for retreat,
prayer and sabbatical.
The ideal Hosea Foundation
retreat will be a rural property with a simple chapel, a number of small
hermitages, and space for a meeting room, simple dining facility and offices.
This project would include a grant program for individuals in need of financial
assistance in order to participate in the hospitality of the center.
On occasion, the Foundation's
retreat facility would also host conferences of spiritual leaders, affording
them a context of prayer and hospitality in which to dialogue. |

Goals
 Develop and offer
retreats, conferences, workshops and presentations in off-premise environments,
including churches, schools, colleges, religious congregations, medical
centers, prisons, hospices, etc.
Provide a place where
people in ministry and those who serve humanity can gather for retreat,
renewal, prayer and sabbatical.
Offer grants and scholarship assistance for
individuals and institutions who would not otherwise be able to participate in
these programs.
Establish a fellowship whose purpose is
continuing support for individuals desirous of embracing spiritual values and
practices in their daily lives. This is taking shape now in our "Lumen Christi
Community". |
