Photo was taken at Funderland, Dublin (Irl)

Every photo tells a story. Carmina De’Donatis and Cait Burns from Colaiste Choilm, Ballincollig seem to be out of their depth on one of the many rides at Funderland!

‘All things have a home, the bird has a nest, the fox has a hole, the bee has a hive. A soul without prayer is a soul without a home’ ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel


Much has been written and said about prayer. Few will argue on how important prayer is and few will argue on how difficult it is to do it. The great thing about prayer is the variety of prayers, how there are so many different ways of praying and how each one is as valid as the next. If something works for us great and to know that what works for someone else may not work for us. The benefits of nourishing our soul/spirit are important. There are many ways we can do it such as getting out for a walk, listening to relaxing music and working in the garden. Doing it through our own prayer time has been know to be of great benefit and has tested the time of all the generations who have gone before us. Whether it is a prayer of thanks, a prayer of praise, a prayer for help, a prayer of petition or a prayer of just being still, each one is of special value. It’s not always about having words or it’s not always about getting it right. It’s not always about getting results but just doing our best and knowing that every prayer does make a difference.
