Photo was taken last evening at St.John’s Well near Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)

Every year on the feast of St.John (June 24th) an open air Mass is celebrated at St.John’s Well, on the side of Mushera mountain. The weather was so nice and the views are always amazing. Last evening one of the biggest crowds in years turned up for the Mass. The low setting sun cast lovely light across the large gathering, which was made up of all age groups.

‘No one’s around when the work needs to be done, but everyone shows up when the bread is ready.’ ~Author Unknown

Not everyone can appreciate the work and effort that we personally put into different aspects of our daily lives. There is no barometer in measuring the amount of love, care, dedication, sacrifice, courage and determination that many people give each day. There are plenty who will try and take the credit. Carers at home do some tremendous work, often hard, repetitive and challenging. Many have to work 24/7 without a break. Sometimes it seems that no one cares and that must be so tough. God always recognises the great effort we make each day. All any of us can do is our best and many do just that each day. Perhaps there is someone in our lives too who is doing tremendous work but whom we may be taking very much for granted. It is easy to turn this one around but only if we decide to do something about it.
