🌸 What if you began each day in October with a few quiet moments of prayer?

One word from Mary’s Magnificat. One breath. A few minutes to pause and be with God.

Breath of Joy offers a simple daily practice throughout October, accompanied by beautiful images of Mary and a short prayer video delivered to your inbox each day.

A small moment of prayer to carry with you into the day.

SPRING TASTERS FOR YOUR SOUL

As winter draws to a close, we naturally begin to look forward to the freshness of spring. The emerging blossoms, longer days, and gentle warmth remind us that every season of dormancy gives way to new beginnings and new life.

It is time to let go of old baggage from past seasons. Spring invites us to pause, to seek the Creative God of renewal, and to open our hearts to the possibilities of grace.

“Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord; his appearing is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:3

You are warmly invited to three Spring Tasters, short evening offerings to slow down and savour the gifts of the spring season through prayer, personal reflection, and meaningful spiritual conversation.

Participants will be invited to deepen their awareness of God's loving presence in everyday life and to notice where the Spirit is bringing new life.
Dates: Sept 8. 9.10 (attend 1 or 2 or all )
Time: 6.30-7.45pm Syd time
