Photo was taken during the Cork St.Patrick’s Day Parade (Irl)

St.Patrick was kind yesterday with beautiful sunshine all over Ireland. Record crowds flocked to see the parades in every village, town and city. Thousands more parades were held right across the world.
Our photo taken yesterday was just one small snapshot of the colour, excitement and energy that was part of the Cork St.Patrick’s Day parade.

Perhaps it’s difficult to get going today after all the St.Patrick’s Day festivities and celebrations. It would be nice if we had today off as well!

This week of course is different to any other as it is Holy week. It is the highlight on the Christian calendar taking even more importance than Christmas. It is up to each of us to make the most of this week. Good Friday is always a day that can touch and move us. Easter Sunday will be an even more important day. Like any journey we can get the most out of Holy week by taking it all in small steps. Embracing the coming week in small ways will be a thousand times better than doing nothing at all. We ask God’s blessings on us as we journey through this special week.
