March 25, 2020: Mary the Mystic with Pat McDonough
Preaching for the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Pat McDonough offers a reflection on learning from the mysticism of Mary:
"On the Feast of the Annunciation, we are reminded that Mary becomes conscious of God within her...Mary, like any mystic, trusts her own experience of the Divine within, and surrenders to it. Do we?"
Pat McDonough has enjoyed a thirty-five year career as a Catholic educator and school psychologist in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Her experience in pastoral ministry spans years as a Director of Religious Education, Director of Youth Ministry, Coordinator of Programs in the Diocesan Office of Family Ministry, and professor of psychology and theology in Catholic high schools and colleges on Long Island. She holds a P.D. in Psychology, M.S. in Education, M.A. in Theology and a B.S. in Criminal Justice. She completed the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius over the course of an unforgettable thirty days as a graduate student.
