Prayer
Prayer informs every part of our life. What is prayer? Being open to God, wanting to say from the depth of our being, " Speak Lord, for your servant is listening...”
The Sisters gather four times each day to pray together, to listen to the Scriptures and to praise God in the Divine Office, and our times of private prayer are important to each one of us.
"Prayer is offered primarily for the worship of God. Through it our personal relationship with God grows and develops until our whole nature is brought into obedience to his will and we are enabled to enter into fullness of life with him." (C.H.N. Rule)
"The Eucharist is the central act of our daily life. In it our prayer, our work, our aspirations, joys and sorrows, our fear and sin, all the depths of conscious and unconscious life are gathered up and transformed, to become the means by which God continues his redemptive work. " (C.H.N. Rule)
We regularly receive prayer requests from other people and we intercede for our ministries, for the people we meet and the causes we hold dear. If you would like to make a prayer request, please contact us.
