Cemetery devotions again in Rathkenny Monday 15th August after three years. Prayers in the Old Cemetery at 6.30pm and in the newer cemetery after 7.30pm Mass.
The work of grieving is a journey back to new life. The wound may be deep; it does not go away. Rather, the wound too becomes part of the new life; it gives us a new way of being ourselves. We become life going on after loss and grief, life going on to new experiences and joys, life going on to greater compassion and wisdom. Judith E Meyer

Pope Francis tweeted “To give hope to others, sometimes it is simply enough to be kind, to put aside your own worries and priorities in order to show interest, give the gift of a smile, speak an encouraging word, create a space for listening amid so much indifference.”
