JUST LIFE - Sarah de Nordwall - Listeners Poetry Challenge for National Poetry Day

The Memorial of St Faustina is on Thursday 5th October which is also National Poetry Day.

In this episode of JUST LIFE, Sarah de Nordwall invites you to write a poem for National Poetry Day on this year's theme, which is 'Refuge'.

Is there any better place to take refuge than in God's mercy - the same message which St Faustina shared with the world?

This is a great opportunity to write from your heart and engage with our modern world through the arts.

To inspire you, Sarah shares poems and writing prompts on the theme of 'Refuge' and you are encouraged to send in your poems by midday on National Poetry Day to info@radiomariaengland.uk

We’ll read out our favourite poems during our CREDO programme at 4pm on Thursday, so make sure you tune in as Sarah will explain how the arts illuminate our faith.

Much of the Bible and our Missals are written in poetry.

Trying your hand at writing can be a spiritual practice that may also awaken faith in others.

On this memorial of St Faustina, who was chosen by Our Lord to reawaken the world in the gift of the Divine Mercy, let's also share the 'Refuge' that is our Faith, with the world.
