Pope Francis.- “The Christian must be a luminous person, who brings light, who always gives light! A light that is not his or hers but rather a gift from God, and a gift from Jesus. And we bring this light. If the Christian allows this light to be extinguished, his life no longer has meaning: he is a Christian by name only. It is God himself who gives us the light, and we offer it to others. Shining lamps! This is the Christian Vocation.” Dear young people, let us not be satisfied with a mediocre life. Be amazed by what is true and beautiful, what is of God! Lough Derg Pilgrimage Season opens Sat 2nd May. Contact 071-9861518. or info@loughderg.org.

What we have to ask ourselves as we head to the polling booth is whether we believe that men and women, Mothers and Fathers are different? If they are do they bring distinctive gifts and complement one another when it comes to parenting? If so should we not retain the special recognition our Constitution has always given to this reality?
