The Poor Clares in Galway have published an updated 10th anniversary edition of their number 1 best-selling book Calm the Soul.
The new material in the book includes reflections and prayers for those coping with anxiety as well as prayers for young people and for those challenged by aging, family conflict, bullying, internet use and fear of missing out.
A new section on accompanying the sick and dying is also among the topics treated in the book.
Drawing on their experience of the issues people are approaching them to pray for, the sisters decided to use the opportunity of a 10th anniversary edition, presented to them by publisher Hachette Ireland, to include these new prayers and reflections that speak to the times that we are living through.
Mother Abbess, Sr. Colette.Mother Abbess, Sr. Colett said that in the ten years since the original edition was published, they have received many letters and feedback from people who have found the book very helpful.
“In view of all that has happened on a global level during that time we believe that there is definitely an appetite for this revised and updated edition and we believe that it will resonate with many people, both young and old, and help them navigate through difficult times.”
The book is published by Hachette Ireland in hardback and is available in bookstores.
