Mercy Ministry in Ontario

July 31, 2017

SoulWinds is a small piece of land – about three acres – located on the Little Kennisis River in the Algonquin Highlands of Haliburton County in Ontario’s near north in Canada.

SoulWinds is the home of Brenda Peddigrew, RSM, Ph.D. and Joan Weir, N.D., who tend the land in all its seasons and offer consultations, teaching and guidance in their respective fields and in many ways to be in nature’s presence.

Joint courses are offered on the SoulWinds property, though other accomodations are used for personal guided retreats with Brenda, and other consultations.

If we love God, we will undoubtedly love our neighbour also; they are as cause and effect.

This is your life, joys and sorrow mingled, one succeeding the other.

Letter to Francis Warde

If the love of God really reigns in your heart, it will quickly show itself in the exterior.

Retreat Instructions, p. 145

May God bless the poor Sisters of Mercy and make them very humble that they may not be unworthy of the distinguished blessings God has bestowed upon them.

Letter to Elizabeth Moore

[God] knows I would rather be cold and hungry than the poor in Kingston or elsewhere should be deprived of any consolation in our power to afford.

Letter to Teresa White
