Not every unexpected road is easy, and we may not understand its purpose while walking it. Proverbs 3:5–6 invites us to trust God beyond the limits of our own understanding.

An essentially important aspect of Paul’s faithful ministry is described by the man himself here-
He dies or claim any greatness within himself but speaks of his humility and humanity as opposed to Hods greatness in Jesus Christ crucified !

How much do you know about our vision to establish Australia’s first 24/7 Healing and Recovery Centre for family carers?

Dreams all start somewhere, and for our Founding Director Ronnie Benbow OAM, it started as a 17-year-old student nurse seeing the impact on families who were caring for their loved ones and realising there was no support for them and nowhere for them to go before they reached breaking point.

Ever since, Ronnie has been committed to providing resources for carers to help them recover and avoid reaching burnout due to their caring burden.

Establishing this centre, as a safe place for family carers to recover, reconnect and build resilience, will also mean a permanent home for our Carer Wellbeing Programs in South East Queensland.

If you’d like to find out more about how to donate to, advocate for or partner on this project, we’d love to hear from you 💙

Help us turn this dream into a reality!

Feast of St Clare of Assisi

Feast day greetings to our Poor Clare sisters on this special day and all who our Oblates and friends who are named after this great saint. We also remember today another great woman of prayer, our much loved Sr Clare Gamble who left us in 2023. We're sure she'll be celebrating this feast with her namesake in heaven and continuing her prayer for us all.

St Clare was born and raised in Assisi, where she lived her entire life. She was the oldest daughter of a local nobleman but gave up her wealth and position to follow a life dedicated to prayer and service. While Clare is often known as a friend of Saint Francis, she was a spiritual force all her own.

For those interested in reading a bit more about this "spiritual force", the Jesuit site 'Thinking Faith' is highlighting a short article written during the recent Jubilee Year by Brian Purfield which describes Clare as a profound theologian and one of the Church's greatest guides into the contemplation of Christ. In his words, "Clare's enduring gift to the Church is that she teaches us not simply how to think about Christ, but how to behold him until our lives begin to bear his likeness."

St Clare of Assisi, pray for us and grant us a share of your contemplative spirit.
