- Book Synopsis
- 'An inspiring book of simple spirituality' Galway Advertiser Originally published a decade ago, the number one bestseller Calm the Soul: A Book of Simple Wisdom and Prayer was written by the Poor Clares, Galway with the intention of showing us how prayer and moments of quiet contemplation can help us find solace and calm in today's busy world. Now, this specially updated edition brings the original reflections on familiar prayers such as the Our Father, Hail Mary and the Rosary, and prayers for special intentions such as depression and self-esteem, together with new material on issues such as anxiety and social media and a section on some of the sisters' favourite saints. This timeless book of spirituality presents simple ways we can introduce more prayer to our days and, in doing so, live with more peace and happiness.
- About The Author
- The Poor Clares are enclosed contemplative community whose monastery is based in Nuns' Island, Galway. The Poor Clares take vows of Chastity, Poverty, Obedience and Enclosure and their day centres on the Eucharist. Prayer is the golden thread which permeates and sanctifies the activities of the entire day. St Clare of Assisi is their foundress, the first female follower of St Francis of Assisi who, in an effort to embrace the true crucified Christ appealed to the Pope to the privilege of poverty. She was also the first woman in the church to write the Rule of Life for religious women. Her Form of Life which reflected the Franciscan ideal was approved two days before her death.
