Welcome to Thornhill Ministries, where our team offers a variety of responses
to those who hunger for meaning... for God...
We provide opportunities for reflection and for deeper exploration.
The Word of God is at the heart of our ministries as we strive towards an integrated spirituality.
October
October days
bring their mix of weathers
that somehow speak
of fleeting joys and sorrows.
October news
has magnified the horrors
of intolerance
where accommodation of difference
is no longer possible
and 'the other' remains the enemy.
October leaves
still speak of letting go
and terminality
and knowledge that in the dying
a hope can still be found.
Great God of All
free us from the limits
of false possession
so that we can learn
that neither land, nor life,
nor might, nor breath are ours
and through these octobering days
may each heart again be open
to the balm of generous compassion
where the other is your gift
and a channel of your love.
(Sr Perpetua)
