We wrote to Kairos Communications over the summer asking if there was any possibility that they could help us with the putting together of a video for Youtube that would capture the essence of the song. We received a positive reply almost immediately and shortly after Fr. Finbarr came to visit to discuss possibilities.
We are very grateful to Fr. Finbarr, Seamus and Sebastien and the team at Kairos for the beautiful visual prayer space they have created. It will be available for viewing on YouTube from October 4th, the Feast of St. Francis.

When we succeed in living in God’s time, open to the epiphany underlying every little happening and every commonplace gesture, we are in fact engaging in a truly contemplative exercise and making a declaration of freedom in the face of a world that suffers from a self-centred understanding of time which pushes people towards despair or mindless escapism. The contemplative is a witness to the truth that time is not money but relationship.
