CAREY WEEKLY 2022 SEMESTER 2 WEEK 15

Maintaining Balance

A few weeks ago, for Not-At-All-General Formation group I had planned for us to consider liturgical prayers about ordinary things like making a cup of tea, looking out the window at the sky, getting dressed, the feel of walking on grass barefoot. That kind of thing.  

When I arrived at work that particular morning I was feeling really stretched, my brain was foggy, I felt physically tense and just unable to pin down my thoughts. I was experiencing that elusive, impossible to grasp, but so concretely real feeling of Overwhelm. So, when I got to Completely-Non-General Formation Group the following prayer was what I wrote. The picture shows the raw version, scrawled in pink felt-tip on scraps of re-used paper (if you want a typed copy, flick me an email).  

I have revisited this prayer a few times, and offered it to others too. Right now you may be feeling overwhelmed—the end of the academic year brings so much pressure. I pray that this prayer may be a blessing to you, may it remind you to stop, breathe, and surrender to God, and may it allow you to be overwhelmed only by God’s love and peace. 

With love, 

Nicola

Karakia Wrapped up for the Year

This week we had our last weekly karakia until semester one 2023. What a wonderful time the third-year PLs curated for us, and what a fantastic year we had contemplating te rongopai, the good news. If you missed this last karakia, or want to experience it again, check out the video recording.

We look forward to reconnecting during our weekly karakia next year!
