Introduction ¦ Prayer ¦ Solitude ¦ Ministry ¦ Communal Life ¦ Vows
'In the light of Christ vocational gifts are "ministries",
which express the different types of service
which the Son has lived even to the gift of his life.
In fact "he came not to be served but to serve,
and to give his life?" Mt 20,28
Jesus is, therefore, the model for every ministry.' In Verbo Tuo, 15
We recognise that the core of our ministry and the source of efficacy for all works is PRAYER. With this in mind we aim:
† to run houses of prayer, vocations discernment groups (see www.free2become.org), discernment
communities, offering spiritual accompaniment, retreats and conferences so as to help people of all
ages and from all walks of life to live their calling fully
† to collaborate with the pastoral plans of the diocese where we reside
† to cooperate with new movements and agencies for vocation and evangelisation, supporting
initiatives where possible
† to work with ecumenical/interfaith bodies and associations which bring life, at a local and national
level
† To undertake part-time work as appropriate, safe guarding time for contemplative prayer, the
common life, solitude, study, hospitality and rest, all of which are needed for a well-balanced life
