Photo was taken yesterday at the Hospital Cross, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)

Our photo today is a section of the hundreds of runners who took part in the 10km Willie Neenan Memorial Race last evening in splendid weather conditions. It was certainly warm but nobody was complaining whatsoever!

‘My heart is as big as the world’ ~Therese Coudrec

There are lots of sporting events taking place this weekend. All eyes will be watching Kilkenny v Tipperary in the hurling later on this evening. Tomorrow it is the Munster Senior Football final in Killarney with Cork playing Kerry and Cork City play West Ham United at Turners Cross later on in the evening. We often say in sport how a particular team plays with great heart and determination. Despite game plans not working out or the opposition faring better, a team can dig in and grind out a result. The same goes with us too. A person who is open to everything in life with great heart usually does very well. Such a person is full of love and makes sure to share it with others. It happens naturally and without fuss. Someone who is cold in their approach to life and who calculate love in terms of cost to themselves will always be catching up. We pray today for a big heart that is open to love, learning, challenges and new possibilities in life.
