Chaplain's Chatter: Thoughts, Reflections and Musings from the Catholic Chaplain
Kairos
Contemplative Practice in the Midst of Uncertainty
The Ancient Greeks had two words for time: Chronos and Kairos. Chronos refers to chronological time, sequential time, the "time" that we in college can get so caught up in. Kairos is the "time" that is unquantifiable and represents a moment of unique significance.
In our world today, it is difficult not to get caught up in the Chronos, the uncertainty, the stress and the busyness of our lives. Kairos allows us to step outside of time and to view the world through a new lense; one of deep awareness and mindfulness.
The Catholic Community invites all to take a break from chaos and spend some time in Kairos on Tuesday nights in Linehan Chapel at 8:00pm.
Let us support one another and learn what contemplation is all about:
- Gain insight from contemplatives such as Thomas Merton & Richard Rhor
- Experience the Catholic contemplative practice of Adoration
- Witness the beauty of shared silence
- Reflect. Be at peace
All are welcome!

we live ourselves into new ways of thinking." ~ Richard Rohr
