Circle Of Mercy – Our Wider Mercy Family

To “explore the creation of a wider Mercy family” the Circle of Mercy was set up in 2005 with the help of Sisters from the Northern Province. It is the coming together of compassionate people from different walks of life who, with Sisters of Mercy, wish to live the gospel according to the spirit of Catherine McAuley.

Its aim is to enable one other to come closer to God, to deepen our understanding of an integrated spirituality, to grow in compassion so as to respond with loving kindness to the needs around us.

Members agree to promote the Mercy Charism in accordance with their calling in life. They meet once a month.

Encountering Mercy

Since first coming together in November 2021 Encountering Mercy members have regular meetings via Zoom in November, January and March. The group meet in person in April, June and September when the days are longer and travel easier. Each meeting usually consists of a reflection prepared by one of the members, quiet time for prayer and sharing. In addition, they deepen their awareness of the call to receive and give mercy in their daily lives. Many of the members are young people who lead very busy lives in school and in hospital. Connecting with like‐minded individuals for prayer and reflection is a way to sustain their lives and activities of service.

Encountering Mercy is coordinated this year by Siobhan Kenny and Annie O’Neill, both of whom work in Mercy University Hospital, Cork.

We should be shining lamps giving light to all around us. Catherine McAuley
