Spirituality

At St Mary's, we define spirituality as the deep thoughts and feelings we have inside us – about ourselves, other people, the world, and God.

Spirituality helps us to:

• Feel love and care for others
• Wonder at the world around us
• Feel close to God
• Ask big questions about life

It helps us think about big questions, like:

• Who made the world?

• Why am I here?

• How should I treat others?

• What do I believe about God?

Christians believe that God made the world and is always with us, that he loves us and wants us to love one another.

Spirituality helps us feel closer to God and to grow in faith.

We can find spirituality when we:

• Pray or worship God
• Help someone in need
• Feel peaceful or amazed by nature
• Think deeply or ask big questions

Spirituality is like a light inside us that helps us understand ourselves, care for others, and feel close to something bigger than ourselves – to God.

Let your light shine before others.  - Matthew 5:16
