What a beautiful display of spring colour. It is a form of a cherry tree that is in full bloom at the moment in Altamount, Millstreet, Co.Cork. The blue sky in the background also provides a lovely backdrop.

I have just uploaded a new video to mark Mother’s Day

Significance Of Today

Today is called Get Over It Day. It is a day to recognise that there are some things we hold onto in life for far too long, particularly negative stuff. Of course there are some things in life that take far more than a day to get over, but the idea is good particularly on our journey through Lent

Interesting Quote for Today

Thought For The Week

A Prayer on Mother’s Day

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we give thanks for our own mother. We thank you for being the wonderful you.

Thank you for all the love you have given.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding and your dedication. Thank you for your advice, your wisdom and for being uniquely you.

Thank you for making many sacrifices, thank you for your total dedication and for doing so many things for me.

You know me better than most. You have been with me through everything. There will never be enough words to say thank you.

You are special every day but on Mother’s Day you are even more special. I pray to you today asking our Loving God to bless you, to keep you in good health and to give you strength, courage, compassion and peace. May you continue to be a woman of love and of hope. May you be blessed today and every day.

And if your Mum is deceased we also remember her with love on this Mother’s Day.Amen
