I took this photo in my garden at Carrigaline, Co.Cork. My hens are often curious and come up close to have a look and also are looking for a treat that might be going. This breed of hen is a Bluebell with their stand out and colourful plumage.

Quote For Today

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle. ~Marianne Williamson

I have just posted my new video below for this week

Video for the Week🎥 

This is my latest video and it is called ‘Finding quiet time even for a few minutes’.

The video below was my video for last week called ‘Grace Before Meals’

This one below is called ‘Some of the Spiritual Blocks in our lives’ which was a recent upload. A walk along by the River Aubane created the inspiration!

If you would like to see a selection of my other videos on YouTube you are welcome to have a look at some of them here: https://www.youtube.com/@JamesMcSweeneyFr/videos

As we move towards the end of January and then hopefully we move gently into spring, I share this video called  ‘Let God’s love melt you’

Spiritual Thought For The Week

A prayer for guidance and blessing:
Loving God I ask you to be with me on this day. I don’t know what lies ahead of me today but I ask you to be with me. Give me the strength and courage to get through everything as best I can. I ask you to hold me in my fears, worries and frustrations. Help me to see clearly the things that matter and the things that don’t. Help me to use every gift I have, remembering that it is from you. May your presence in my life give me a generous and open heart, making me an instrument of peace and love in whatever choice I make. Help me to use these days as a time to make good positive choices in everything I do.
I would also like to include any person who needs a prayer, a word of encouragement, help or guidance at this time. For anyone who finds life a struggle, please give them the inner strength to keep going. When I have doubts, questions, uncertainties or worries, hold me in your special care. Even if today is not a great day or if I feel I messed up, help me to restart and get going again. Whatever may happen, all I need to know is that there is nothing that you or I can’t handle together today. Amen
