Keen on God, monasticism, tried out being a nun, now friend to religious communities, enjoying family life, dancing and surprised to be a social entrepreneur.

Ever experienced the joy of slowing down and re-read something?

Brother Jonathan describes how you can benefit from a slow, meditative approach to reading and re-reading God’s word – like you might a love letter. Hope you enjoy it :-)

When we feel a lack motivation to pray, remember what matters most is not how you pray, but that you pray, any way you can. A good place to start is to notice the prayer that God has already initiated in us.

It's tempting to feel the pressure when it comes to prayer. But it is freeing to remember that it is not us who stoically gets down to prayer, but God that invites and woos us to be more faithful and delights in what even we are able to offer.
