"We should be as the compass
that goes round its circle
without stirring from its center.
Our center is God,
from whom all our actions
should spring as from their source."
Catherine McAuley
Foundress, Sisters of Mercy
Launch Day is December 12
Foundation Day for the Sisters of Mercy
Catherine McAuley, the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, once said: “We should be as the compass that goes round its circle without stirring from its center. Our center is God, from whom all our actions should spring as from their source.”
Our souls are the source of our connectedness to God. Without proper and continuous care, our souls may be at odd with our minds and hearts in terms of the directions we take, the courses we follow or the degrees of centeredness we feel in this sacred and often bewildering circle of life. Our souls, maybe more than ever, need a compass!
COMPASS kits are designed for personal soul care and offer extraordinary value.
Each themed kit includes the following components:
- Three Guided Reflections - written by MCRC staff
- COMPASS Writing Paper
- A keepsake item inscribed with a Personal Soul Word
- A COMPASS candle, handmade by women artisans and refugees, through Prosperity Candle
The retail value of a COMPASS kit, based upon one of our 2-day inhouse programs, a Prosperity Candle tin purchased in our gift shop and a personal keepsake item is $76.00. Yet we are able to make COMPASS kits available for only $39.99! As part of this introductory offer, USPS 2-Day Priority Shipping is available for $5.00 per kit (a savings of $10.00).
Look for information about volume purchase discounts at time of launch!
Four COMPASS kit themes initially available for purchase!
Stones and Boulders - We all face stones and boulders as we walk the myriad pathways of our lives. Stones and Boulders focuses on embracing obstacles and challenges as opportunities for growth.
The Garden Gate - Gates are often symbols of change and new beginnings. Sometimes even a highly anticipated change can feel daunting. The Garden Gate focuses on the freedom that comes with taking those next steps to be able to live the life you envision for yourself.
Delight in the Light - When Divine light shines on our lives, we are able to hear more clearly the voice of God speaking to us. Delight in the Light is for you if you are looking for the hope and encouragement that comes with the knowledge that God knows your name and is deeply aware of your present needs.
Placid Stillness - We each need times of rest and refreshment. If you're feeling weary and are looking for a place to stop and rest, Placid Stillness is for you.
Choose for Me - Don't know which kit to choose? Or, maybe you just love surprises? We'll choose one for you!
