Ireland remembers the horror of death and violence. We know what it is to long for peace and reconciliation. For 24 hours on the 24th… Please join in Reflection, Prayer and Hope this weekend for #Gaza and for #Peace

I encourage all our parishes to support this initiative. At a time when it seems hard to know to respond, prayer is a good place to begin.

I’m deeply moved that Fr Gabriel, parish priest of the Holy Family parish in Gaza has sent this video of appreciation to everyone in Ireland who is taking part in our 24 hours of prayer for Gaza please join us! Watch Fr Gabriel’s video message here:

The Word of God has frequently been twisted and misrepresented to justify sectarianism, racism and even genocide. As we pray together for peace in Gaza and in Ukraine, our first reading at Mass today reminds us that God does not have favourites. facebook.com/share/p/1FKEb4…

Only with honest dialogue and, ultimately, with a readiness to forgive, can peace return to this troubled land. That must be our prayer.

I was delighted to join the two Irish communities of the Sister Disciples of the Divine Master, and to meet with their Superior General, Sr. M. Bernardita Meraz Sotelo together with Sr Louise o’Rourke, an Athlone native, who is a member of the General Council @elphindiocese

Italian clergy issued this very balanced and well reasoned statement on the genocide in Gaza. It has been endorsed by priests around the world. Some Irish priests have put their names to it. Never too late. dg.saveriani.org/en/saveriani/m… CatholicBishops

The madness of this campaign is reflected in the fact that two women who both voted for abortion end up having a head to head debate about the rights and wrongs of fox-hunting? CatholicBishops Kevin Doran Diocese of Achonry Pro Life Campaign Ireland
