New Monasticisms Ireland committee with Padraig O’ Tuama at Emmaus for our day entitled ‘A spirituality of Interruption’ on the 25th January 2020
From the outset, Padraig engaged us with the nature of interruption and the need for a certain disposition of the heart.
He drew our attention to three episodes in Scripture. This was followed by an in-depth exploration of language and meaning and the subtle connections with how we go about our daily lives.
Padraig is a great communicator and we were privileged to be lead to new understanding and insights. Our day was rounded off with some of his poetry.
We are not in a position to host events in the normal way because of Covid 19. We hope to find new ways and adapt to these changing times.
Living by the principles

Wisdom is a gift and is sought in study and reflection.
The company of those who share the spiritual journey is valued.
Tradition is a storehouse of wisdom.

Irish Christianity informs our movement but we are open to the wisdom that other faiths inspire.
