Each year, as part of my being a Sister of St. Joseph of Annecy, I go away for a retreat.

This means I spend time in quiet, prayer and reflection with no phone, email, internet or any talking.  It might sound a bit strange but it's a really important time in the year for me to stand back from life and think about how I'm living it as a Sister.  Am I living what I committed myself to?  How can I do that better?  What am I being called to?

We can all do with a bit of time like that, even if it's only half an hour to stop and think and reflect in a quiet space.  Not responding to a message immediately is OK sometimes.  Try it.

Clinics will resume when I get back at both Morrello and Wellfield.
