Meaning & Spirituality

People search for meaning and spirituality in so many places. St Augustine was one such seeker. He finally declared: "My heart was restless until it rested in you", in God. One way Catholics understand the life in Christ that gives us meaning and hope, is that we are responding to a call, or vocation, from the Divine.

It is rare to meet someone who offers you a way of life so rich that you are prepared to give away everything to take up the offer! Yet time and time again in stories of Jesus, we see people turning away from their old ways and following Jesus.

Witnessing a beautiful sunset, contemplating the wonder of new life as a baby enters the world, or pondering the vastness of space and the untapped depths of our own heart can all lead us to prayer.

Confusion about holiness is what stops us from taking up the call to become a more involved in our faith. We may say that we are not holy enough.
