May God make your year a happy one!Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;Not by making your path easy,But by making you sturdy to travel any path;Not by taking hardships from you,But by taking fear from your heart;Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;Not by making your life always pleasant,But by showing you when people and their causes need you most, and by making you anxious to be there to help.God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
Have you ever felt ‘I don’t know how to pray’? Saying prayers is great but is there another way? How would I really like to pray? Would you like to deepen your prayer life?
In what we call Siol meetings we take time off to reflect on God’s story which is our story too. We let the Spirit guide us into knowing, loving and following Christ. We do this by reflecting and praying on the Bible. This will certainly help in coping with the ups and downs of life.
Chris and Sr. Mary will be available to support you in getting to know the Lord better. For those of you who are interested there will be an introductory session in the Nagle Chapel on next Tuesday morning at 9.45am.
