On Tuesday 5 October, staff from Carroll College, St Bernard’s and St Mary’s joined together online to share in a common prayer.  The theme of the prayer was, “Seeds of Hope.”  We took inspiration from the Feast of St Francis of Assisi on Monday 4 October and considered how nature and care of creation are wonderful sources of hope, especially when we are feeling uncertain and worried.  The staff enjoyed a reading from scripture, a reflection from Fr Martins, Parish Priest of St Bernard’s, a meditation, and time to sow seeds as a symbol of our planting hope for the future.  It was a wonderful way to start the term, to reconnect with colleagues and remind ourselves of the importance of faith and hope in our lives and our vocations.
