Quiet Day at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine

Come to spend a day at this urban oasis of the Royal Foundation of St Katharine.

This special day will be led by Brother Samuel

Joining God’s Repair Shop
‘Kneeling before a large crucifix in the ruined church of St Damian outside the walls of Assisi, the young Francis, seeking the Lord’s will, heard the words: “Repair my house, which you see is in ruins”. Setting about the task with a few companions who became the nucleus of his brotherhood, the work in the years ahead grew wider and deeper. It involved the repair of relationships within the Lord’s family, within and between communities in conflict, and with those considered enemies or outcast.

For Francis, Christ’s gentle repair extended even to the family of creation. On this Quiet Day we’ll be reflecting on how, by becoming artisans in the Lord’s “Repair Shop”, we may ourselves be restored, renewed and transformed.’
