Our prayer is that Thomas Berry Place will be, first and foremost, A Place that people might call home, a place of reflection and prayer, a place of forgiveness, healing, and restorative justice. It will be, as Thomas Berry might have put it, a place to come away for a while to brood and to chat. Here, we will encounter the Peace of Christ, a peace that will bring comfort.
The Holy Spirit has inspired many religious families, many particular charisms, and institutes in the Church to fulfill His plan of salvation for certain souls through the vocation to consecrated life. This means that if you are discerning the call to religious life, it will not be abstract forever. At a certain point, visiting sisters to see their lives can be a helpful step in discernment.
