Henrita Frost, SSND
Prayer, presence, and programs, including spiritual guidance sessions
Sister Henrita is a spiritual director who participated in a program in spiritual direction at the Center for Spirituality and Justice in New York. Henrita’s desire at that time was to offer spiritual direction to people who were homeless and did not have the basic necessities for a comfortable life. That desire was short-lived because her congregation asked her to go to Rome. Since she has been at the Christine Center, she welcomes the opportunity to offer spiritual guidance to others with a particular emphasis on compassion and loving kindness.
Sister Henrita also collaborated to bring us a beautiful video on compassion… the images and messages reflect the deep calling to compassion that she offers us all.
