The thought of taking a first step in exploring a religious vocation can be a very daunting one. Our COME FOR A CUPPA initiative is designed to make that first step a little easier. It consists in simply meeting with a sister for a short chat about your vocation journey and provides an opportunity to ask questions that might have occurred to you. Talking with someone who has already made the leap into religious life can be very helpful. To COME FOR A CUPPA contact: poorclaresgalwayvocations@gmail.com
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.
