C&SI - Creating a culture of care in broken relationships - 8 Sept 2024 (S04E41b)

Come & See Inspirations (C&SI)

On this weeks podcast excerpt we are sharing a reflection from the 2024 Novena for Perpetual Help in Clonard Monastery in Belfast by Marcella Philips on the theme 'Creating a Culture of Care'.
Marcella Philips spoke on 'Creating a culture of care in broken relationships'. She finished by reciting this poem by Michelle Harverson 'The Shades of Life' which Marcella said encapsulated what she had shared:
We all have a story
a tale to be told
of the joys we’ve experienced
and the hardships we’ve known.
Sometimes we wear them
on our sleeves for all to see
but often they’re hidden
as deep as they can be.
So, let us be kind
for we never truly know
the struggles and the battles
that others undergo.
May empathy and compassion
be the guiding lights we share
and may we always remember
that each story deserves care.
For in our human journey
we all need love and grace
so, let us be kind to one another
and create a better place.
