"Your
path seems as clear as light - shining even, so
clear does it appear
that you are where he wishes for you and where his
special graces await you." [Margaret
Aylward to Ada Allingham, letter from prison 1861]
Holy
Faith Sisters freely choose to live
their lives as vowed members in community.
Like
Margaret Aylward, we try to bring
the light of faith and compassion
to our world today. We are called
to live a faith that does justice
in our lives of prayer and ministry.
Would
you like to join us?
Please

life and spirit

of this website.
"Fan
into a flame
the gift of God" [2 Tim. 1:6]
Prayer
for Guidance
‘God’s
will in your regard
will be your polar star.
View it calmly and steadily.’ [Margaret Aylward]
God
of all creation and God of my life,
give me the courage to follow
the guidance of my polar star
which is your will for my life.
Grant
me the desire and the courage to respond
with great generosity and love to Christ’s
call in my life.
Deepen
my appreciation
of the gift of faith.
Open my ears to hear
the crying needs of our people
and planet.
Drawn
by the shining light of
Margaret Aylward’s faith,
courage and compassion and empowered
by your Holy Spirit,
may I bear witness in
my living and relating
to the love and truth of Jesus
in our day. Amen

They give guidelines for discerning God's

of prayers also. In addition Vocations Ireland
provides a directory of all the religious
