This early Irish manuscript is much earlier than the Book of Kells & free for all to see! Admittedly it’s not in great shape & not illuminated like the Book of Kells but it has a fascinating early history (object of 1st case of copyright law?) & is a cool treasure from our past.

The Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary always reminds me of the importance of the visit, who we are visiting and where the visit is taking place - let’s take time to linger on our visits and be truly present to one another this day K&L Diocese Ireland CatholicNewsIreland

It was such an inspiring honour to visit and pray at the Columban Missionary cemetery in Co. Meath. These heroic men left everything to bring a message of hope and love to the world’s most vulnerable people. Many others never returned, dying on the missions or were martyred.

Throughout Ireland, there are many St. Brigid’s Wells, where her miracles and Celtic ties with water are honoured. In Kildare County, you'll find several beautifully restored wells, like this one near the Irish National Stud and Solas Bhríde. @kildarecountycouncil #Brigid1500

Great news! Pray for these brothers as they prepare for ordination and priestly ministry.

Pope Francis has recognised another miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Carlo Acutis, who was born in London in 1991. This paves the way for him becoming the first millennial saint.

Blessed Carlo Acutis, pray for us.
