Photo was taken yesterday at the English Market, Cork (Irl)

Pat O’Connell charmed the Queen back in May 2011 when she visited the English Market in Cork and there was another lovely moment yesterday when Pat brought a huge fish out to Blanca De Ugarte Gonzalez. Blanca is a Spanish student on a year exchange in Col√°iste Choilm, Ballincollig and no doubt this is one memory she will be taking back home from Cork!

‘Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards.’ ~Author Unknown

We know that experience can get us through many aspects of life, through what is certain but also through the unknown. Experience is often hard earned. It might be a difficult job interview that didn’t go well, the game we should have won but threw away, the decision we should have made but didn’t. We spend our lives gathering experiences but they all do stand to us. What is our experience of God? For many people it is wide and varied. All our experiences of God are valid and important. The great lesson of life is to feel loved and cherished. This should be the goal of all our experiences especially that of God.
