This is a wonderful project that was begun in 2017. In the spirit of Pope Francis asking us to share the Joy of the Gospel, those associated with The Catholic Institute (TCI) were asked to share a personal encounter with God. “Encountering the Divine” is the result thus far. It is a collection of simple yet powerful stories of meeting God in everyday life.
Contributors have bravely and generously given their permission for their reflection to be used with students, teachers and whānau – lessons, meetings, retreats, personal reflection etc.
We are also inviting others to contribute. We would love this to grow. If you choose to join the journey:

We are also inviting others to contribute. We would love this to grow. If you choose to join the journey:
- The story needs to be focused on a personal experience, or observation, of “God’s presence” or “Encounter with Jesus”
- It must be experiential (An account of real events and actual personal impact – with names changed as appropriate.)
- It needs to be quite short. (400 – 600 words)
- The aim is for it to be very accessible. Non-academic (No overly BIG words, lists of references, or theological treatises.)
- The director NCRS will be the editor – and will co-opt support as needed. (Nothing will be changed without the authors permission – publication is at the discretion of the editor.)
- The story will be shared. (And, we’re doing this for love not $)
- Submit to Colin MacLeod (current Director NCRS)
