Life can be full of distractions from the things that really matter. Prayer is an antidote to this—a tried and tested way to shift our focus from ourselves and to put things in perspective, to make time for God.
In his latest video message, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli reflects on how, in this Year of Prayer, we might punctuate our days with praise by embracing one of the great prayers of the Catholic tradition, the Glory Be.
In this week’s stories, we also hear from Deacon Ferdinand Correya, who was recently ordained to the permanent diaconate. He speaks about his hopes for his ministry and about the ways permanent deacons can help people bring their focus back to God in the midst of busy lives.
And as we prepare to observe two Sea Sundays this year, on 21 and 28 July, Stella Maris encourages us to support them in their important work with the seafarers who visit our shores, caring for them in practical ways and helping them find time for God when they are far from home.
