College Misercordia
This is the entrance to College Misercordia. The college was founded in 1924 by the sisters of Mercy. It was originally an all girls school, but it is now co-ed. According to the stats there are still more girls than boys.
This is Mercy Hall and it is the original building. I'm not going to give a guided tour of the college, but they do a great job on the Misercordia web site. If you want to know more about the school check it out.
I have been to the campus many times, but I can't remember that last time I walked around it. I think it was when I was a kid and took an arts and crafts class there. We walked around the campus and found treasures and set them in plaster to make a sculpture. I found more treasures this time.
"The labyrinth is a metaphor for life's journey offering lessons as we walk the path. Walking labyrinth can assist us to address challenges, meditate, pray and find peace and serenity. Walking Mediation Garden dedicated Sept. 20, 2033 to all modern day pilgrims."
"Peace of body, mind and spirit to all who walk here"
I never knew this Peace Garden was there. I decided to use it. I felt a bit awkward at first walking around in circles, because it is very public, but the more I walked in it the less I cared. First of all, I doubt anybody was paying much attention to me and who cares if they were. That is what this was made for. I wasn't going to miss out on enjoying it because of what someone else would think.
May peace prevail on Earth. A nice thought.
This is the center after weaving your way through the paths, this is where you end up, then if you want you can weave your way back out. Impatient me jumped the "walls" and took the short cut.
Another find.
This is one of the sayings on the path around the next sculpture.
What struck me most about this picture of the chapel is that I didn't notice how blue the sky was until I looked at this. I guess my eyes can always be opened more.
