In 2012, the sisters brought out a book of prayers called ‘Calm the Soul’. This became the ninth best-selling Irish book that year. The following year, it became a No. 1 bestseller, remaining 13 weeks at the top of the book charts. The following audio tracks feature some of the sisters reading prayers from the book, to an accompaniment of the sisters music in the background.
Poem "Calm the Soul"
Prayer for those with Depression
Prayer for those who are lonely
Prayer for when our fears overwhelm us
The ancient spiritual tradition of the Church, explicitly connects the enclosed-contemplative life to the prayer of Jesus "on the mountain", or solitary place not accessible to all but only to those whom he calls to be with Him, apart from the others.
The enclosure therefore, even in its physical form, is a special way of being with the Lord, of sharing in Christ's emptying of Himself by means of a radical poverty, expressed in renunciation not only of things but also of space, of contacts, of so many benefits of creation.
