Word Made Flesh is a contemplative community. One of the ways that we contemplate what God is doing in the world and in our lives is through the reflection articles that we write. We invite you to read, learn, and celebrate with us.

Dear Friends, We apologize for not getting our prayer letter out last month, if you noticed that our every other month schedule was interrupted!
