Visited the fantastic @DubrayBooks in Stillorgan, Dublin and we were so pleased to see the beautiful 'Mythical Irish' trilogy by Mark Joyce, alongside @lorraineelizab6's 'St Brigid & Other Amazing Irish Women' and 'Finding Hope' by @srstansquotes (@ColumbaBooks) #BookLover
@charliebird49 Charlie, your visit to the Sanctuary meant so much. Your very presence brought hope and light and courage to us all. Knowing, and seeing, how you're coping with a difficult time, but also celebrating and sharing your life with us all in a very generous way, brings so much hope.
Delighted to share with you my latest book 'Finding Hope' published by @ColumbaBooks
My deepest gratitude goes out to all the wonderful contributors who brought this book in to being.
🙏 Available to preorder from The Sanctuary and Columba Books https://t.co/XOky4KKBZ4
May this New Year bring new Hope and Peace to us on Earth and may blessings of Peace, Joy and Love flow into your lives.
Wishing you all a very Happy and Peaceful New Year.
~ Sr. Stan

Our Eustace St Coffee Shop will open on 24 hour basis from tonight for coming days as part of @HomelessDublin & wider NGO response to this extreme weather. This is to ensure any person sleeping rough who doesn't go in to emergency accommodation has somewhere to spend the night.
As we enter the winter, we come to the Sabbath time of year, when nature rests. A sense of Sabbath,
a commitment to taking time and space out of our busy lives and giving it to the sacred, can restore our openness to grace and make us alive to the miracles around us ~ Sr Stan
With every gift
there comes opportunity:
the sun shining through the trees
the dew glistening on an open flower
the smile of a baby
the embrace of a friend
When we take these opportunities,
enjoy them to the full,
we dwell in the gift of being alive
~ Sr Stan

When we wake in the morning let us greet the day that lies ahead and acknowledge that this is not just another day, this is the one day that has been given to us, and it is a gift
