Dear Friends, On October 8th, next Tuesday, we celebrate the 382nd anniversary of our Community’s Foundation in Liège. It is a day of great thanksgiving for us & one of remembering our forebears both in the Low Countries &, in the last 230 years, in England. Mindful of that we are giving you rather…
Dear Friends, Hoping you have had a good week or at least one that you were able to manage without too much difficulty. Last week our reflections focused on Autumn in a general way. The theme this week also has an autumnal feel to it but centres in on trees, and the falling of leaves. …
Dear Friends, Unsurprisingly, our theme this week is Autumn. A few themes come again & again: completion, gratitude, bounty, harvest and so on. We speak of the autumn of life – those of us who are living it know it is sometimes a struggle but maybe a focus on all that Autumn brings us –…
Dear Friends, Good to be back with you & Saturday Reflections. We hope these last weeks have been good ones for most of you, though I am sure amongst us there will be some sadness & distress. Today’s blessing comes from Sacred Pathways & is called ‘Deep Peace’ May those of us who have had…
Dear Friends, Today we have some reflections on the theme of summer. For most of us it has been a hot week & we hope that you haven’t found it too uncomfortable. What a strange summer it has been – so much wet dull weather & then this extreme heat. It is the…
Dear Friends, Yesterday was the feast of Edith Stein & her writings are very accessible so today we have chosen as our reflections some excerpts from those writings. A bit of background for those who aren’t familiar with her story: Edith was a Jewish convert to Catholicism, very well educated despite numerous obstacles, and…
Dear Friends, We are back from Rwanda, safe & sound! Life is so so different there yet amazingly through our shared spirituality we experience a closeness with our sisters there. Please pray for them & for our sisters in the DRC, some of whom were with us but who live in such dangerous situations…
Dear Friends, The reflections today will, we hope, make you smile! There is an additional one focused on Mary Magdalene whose feast day is on 22nd. There are quite a number of attachments to keep you going for a couple of weeks! Next week, 27th, there won’t be a Saturday Reflection as we will be…
Dear Friends, Today most of the reflections are on the’ beauty of creation’ theme – gardens, flowers etc. Our garden is very colourful at the moment and God’s wonderful creation is so evident. I hope you have this kind of beauty near you too. Romero’s prayer is a bit different yet he uses the…
Dear Friends, Thank you, several of you, who have given us encouraging feedback on last week’s Reflection particularly on ‘Queer Freedom’ – it seems to have ‘hit the spot’ for many of you. With holidays on many of our horizons it seems strange to have ‘work’ as a theme today. But we all have tasks…
