New Poor Clares Publication

Posted on 04 November 2012

Calm the Soul. The Poor  Clares in Nuns’ Island Galway recently published a book of Simple wisdom  and Prayer.

The nuns’ have drawn on their monastic tradition and suggest simple practices to help nourish our souls and find a sense of calm in to-day’s world. With practical advice in preparing for prayer, The Poor Clares look at ways we can slowly build up the amount of time spent in prayer and meditation in our daily lives, to achieve  a sense of well-being. They combine reflections on familiar prayers, such the Our Father and Hail Mary , with  meditations on Scripture , and prayers for specific needs such as depression, self esteem and sickness.

The book is a best seller here in Ireland and in its first week of publication ranks at number five in the best seller charts. Available at all good book shops. This would make a beautiful Christmas gift for those who are seeking something deeper.

The Poor Clares first came to Ireland in 1629. www.poorclares.ie    www.clairinibochta.ie
