The sea fog prevented the view of the partial #eclipse down here in Baltimore, west Cork... however, the low light gave an eerie atmosphere for the duration of the celestial phenomenon...

A lovely Mass in honour of Padre Pio with the people of St Tierney's Parish, Roslea, Co. Fermanagh last Friday. I love the majestic Monkey Puzzle Tree at the end of the church which stretches almost to the height of the church tower 🙏

Over at one of parish primary schools for the kids graduation ceremony. They sang their last song; "Don't stop Believin'" by Journey. (I bet many sixth class primary kids sang it) I told them Journey released the song when I was in sixth class! (1981) "It goes on & on & on & on...."

A powerful part of our Easter Vigil in St. Michan's RC Parish, Halston St was the baptism of Ekta Maria Bhal. Adults who request baptism undergo a long programme of formation culminating in being received into the Catechumenate, on the First Sunday of Lent by the Archbishop in the Cathedral.

We have the Confirmations of our school kids in two ceremonies these days... Usually the Archbishop delegates the Parish Priests (Pastors) to administer the Sacrament. I asked one of the Auxiliary Bishops to come this year as I've been advised "the Grandparents love to see the bishop..."

Overheard in the Friary "Father, I want to take the pledge." "Ok, so how long will you take it for?" A month? Six months? A year?" "No, I wanna take it for life?" "Life? Like, are you sure?" "Yeah, I always take it for life."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

“You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” Brené Brown. Being human means feeling deeply, caring about things that matter, finding our way through the good days, the harder moments, and everything else too. 🧡 #kindness #belief Art by selfcarerecipe

Illustration with a soft, neutral background. Around the centre text “8 Signs That You Are Human,” eight small drawings are placed in a circular layout. Top left shows a torch and explorer hat with the caption “Not being prepared for every possibility.” Next is a green tent with the caption “You get sad for no reason sometimes.” A red lantern sits top right with the caption “You say the wrong thing.” On the right side is a campfire with a marshmallow roasting above it, captioned “You have weight fluctuations.” Bottom right shows binoculars with “Feeling unsure of what your next steps are.” Bottom centre displays two pine trees and stars with “Being productive one day and struggle the next.” Bottom left is a hiking backpack and canteen with “You feel confident or insecure depending on the day.” Left side shows a compass with “You change your mind.” Picture by @selfcare.recipe.
