Angela and Faith


Last week I was in Lancaster meeting with various groups, among them the Angelinas. The Angelinas are a number of young mothers who meet in our convent to learn more about the spirituality of St Angela and for mutual support and encouragement in their vocation as wives and mothers. One of the pages above tells you more about them.

As we are now in the Year of Faith I spoke about "Angela and Faith".A way of understanding the foundation of Angela's faith is to place yourself, as she invites us, "at the feet of Jesus Christ".It is there we learn how much we are loved by God and it is from this love relationship that our faith and hope and trust in God flows. So Angela is able to say:

"Be joyful and always full of love, and faith and hope in God."
