Finding Peace While the Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenging time, it has also offered an opportunity for individuals to open up to an inner world. A time to find out that there is a human need for something beyond the routine of everyday life. During this time, Sr Stan gathered writings from some well-known and some not so well-known people to understand how others bring peace into their lives every day. “Where and how do you find peace in your daily life?” was the question posed to the contributors including TV presenter Miriam O’Callaghan, rugby player Johnny Sexton, singer Liam O’Maonlai, actor Tommy Tiernan and women’s health advocate Vicky Phelan among many others. Each individual had something different to offer, so the material here is diverse and wide-ranging. What is clear from all the contributions is that peace is about relationships and ultimately it is about love. The proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Sanctuary, in particular the development of programmes for those who care for the most vulnerable in our society. Finding Hope Hope is needed in our daily lives now more than ever. Wars and the pandemic, along with the ongoing climate crisis, are affecting the lives of many people all over the world. In this difficult time, hope is the unifying force to carry us through the despair. To inspire others to find hope in their lives, Sr Stan reached out to a number of individuals to discover where they find hope. As with her previous best seller Finding Peace (2021), Sr Stan posed the question “Where and how do you find hope in your daily life?”. Despite being a very personal question, public figures and private citizens responded in droves and the result is an authentic and beautiful book sure to inspire readers. With contributions from: Charlie Bird, Mary Kenny, Cathy Kelly, Colum McCann, Tanaiste Micheál Martin, Orla Guerin, Mike Ryan, Éanna Ní Lamhna, Myles Dungan, Archbishop Eamon Martin, Collette O’Regan, Bryan Dobson, Mary Lou McDonald, Adi Roche, Dee Forbes….. and many more Gratitude In our busy, always-on world today, gratitude can be hard to find. But if more people were grateful, the world would actually begin to change for the better. You can’t be grateful and hateful. You can’t be grateful and selfish. Following on from her best selling books Finding Peace (2021) and Finding Hope (2023), Sr Stan started to ponder gratitude. And so, she asked over 90 people: ‘what do you feel grateful for in you daily life?’ The answers came pouring in, from public figures and private citizens, as people enthusiastically shared their gratitude practices and the ways in which they feel grateful every day, from the simple things to the profound. This beautiful book will inspire readers to reflect on their own lives and embrace the power of gratitude. All royalties from the sale of this book will go towards furthering the work of the Sanctuary.
