What Do You Think of Our Church Readers?
The Irish Catholic, 22 February 2024 |
Feedback, we all agree, is very welcome, provided it is constructive. We can all improve, and people's well-intentioned views can help us do so (in the form, " Well done!"+ "Maybe you could etc."). What do you think of Ossory priest Martin Delaney's approach to the subject in this recent article? (For bettter magnification, click here.)
If anyone would like to offer his or her services as reader (and raise the standard maybe!), please contact the reader coordinator for Newcastle, Rathcoole or Saggart. (For contact details, under 'Parish Team' on the menu-bar above, scroll down to 'Parish Groups' => 'Ministers of the Word'.)

Praying for War-Stricken Peoples during Lent
Pope Francis recalls suffering in Ukraine and Holy Land
The above is the Vatican News headline for its report on the Pope's address delivered at his General Audience earlier today, Ash Wednesday (see here ). "Today, as Lent begins," he said, "let us prepare to journey through this time as an opportunity for conversion and inner renewal, in listening to the Word of God, in caring for our brothers and sisters, who are in great need. Here, let us never forget the poor people of Ukraine, Palestine, and Israel, who suffer so much. Let us pray for these brothers and sisters who suffer from war. Let us continue our help and intensify prayer, especially to request the gift of peace in the world".
