Photo was taken at Altamount, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl) last evening.

There was beautiful sunshine yesterday, particularly in the south west of Ireland. Temperatures crept up to 15C. It was very much spring in the air, with lots of lawnmowers purring throughout the afternoon.

Thought on Sunday – March – 12/03/2017

Our Thought For Today is by Andy Alexander SJ & Maureen McCann Waldron from the Intercom Magazine

Lent is indeed how God draws us home as individuals, but it is also a very communal journey. We never journey alone, no matter how lonely we may feel. We are always journeying together. If we can experience our journey in communion with others, it makes it so much clearer that we are on a journey together. When we can share our experiences with a close friend or our worship community, we can enjoy support that allows grace to flourish. Let us pray for one another on this journey, especially for those who need and desire a change of heart on this pilgrimage to Easter joy. Choosing and acting Lent are so important because we are body-persons. We experience things with our senses, relish them with our imaginations and we share in God’s own creative and loving activity when our hearts and hands work together for and with others.
