We have one solid comfort amidst this little tripping about, our hearts can always be in the same place, centered in God, for whom alone we go forward or stay back.
Spirituality & Prayer
“Prayer is a plant, the seed of which is sown in the heart of every Christian, but its growth entirely depends on the care we take to nourish it.” - Catherine McAuley
Prayer and spirituality are integral parts of the lives of the Sisters of Mercy. Sisters participate in morning and evening prayer, as well as Mass, retreats and prayer circles.
