Prayer Adventure Week One: Have you tried Ignatian Spirituality?

By Grace Stewart on 1 Mar 2023

It feels like every time I admit that I struggle with prayer in front of a Catholic, I get the same response.

Finding the Divine (And Yourself) in Silence, Stillness, and Rest

By Grace Stewart on 20 Jan 2023

A lot of us really struggle with silence. This isn’t entirely our fault: silence, stillness, and rest can be hard to find under the capitalist urge to keep working and doing and consuming.
