It is from ones experience that suffering and pain are, unfortunately, the great character builders-not that suffering is good in itself, but because it often helps to shift our expectation of happiness from without to a search for it from within....Happiness is primarily an inner state, an inner achievement. Thus the Kingdom of Heaven is within us Suffering may be the means whereby we achieve self understanding. In the measure that we achieve self-understanding we are able to reach out with understanding others. Happiness is not found in the pursuit of things or in the possession of things. It comes from living and giving, from suffering and participation in the suffering of others.
The Role of the Sanctuary
We are continously trying to raise funds for our premises, so that we can open our doors more frequently during the week, to be able to provide a community forum for the young, vulnerable and the elderly, to help and support their needs.
