I took this photo yesterday afternoon near Ballingeary in West Cork. The landscape was looking so beautiful.

On March 23rd 2021 The Suez Canal which is one of the world’s most heavily used shipping lanes, was blocked after the massive cargo ship Ever Given ran aground. It took six days to move the vessel causing huge delays in the movement of goods all over the world and eventually led to a shortage of different things in our shops.

Thought For The Week

‘In this time of Lent, we have more time to reflect. Reflection is not only good for your soul, it’s good for the souls and hearts of those around you. Reflection is a cleansing and Lent brings us to a slow motion time, when we begin to think about the goodness in our lives.’ ~Maxi
Reflection is always a good thing to do each day. Reflection at a deeper level will always take much more time. Lent gives us such an opportunity. There may only be two weeks left to go but there is still plenty of time to reflect on what’s really important in our lives.
It has been repeatedly said that our lives are so busy that we miss out on all the important moments in our lives. No one can change this but ourselves. It is easy when reflecting to zoom in only on the negative and bad news. It is essential that we always bring balance and also reflect on our own goodness of which there is an endless supply around.
If reflection is good for our soul and Lent brings us into slow motion time, then the next two weeks can be spiritually very productive.
