The New Year offer an opportunity for a ‘sacred pause’ as we embrace 2026; the Hand of God is ‘better than a light and safer than a known way’, to quote The Gate of the Year by Minnie Haskins. We are reminded that new resolutions offer not a rod with which to beat ourselves but a gentle guide for our life and how we strive to live it. We read about the many tools and guides for online prayer that are now available – and very popular. And several articles address the Ignatian commitment to social justice matters. An engaging first Messenger for 2026!
