Reflection “I cannot be silent then, nor indeed should I, about the great benefits and grace that the Lord saw fit to confer on me in the land of my captivity. This is the way we repay God for correcting us and taking notice of us; we honour and praise his wonders before every nation under heaven.” (from St. Patrick’s Confessions)
Laudato Deum… To leaders: ‘… Be strategists … considering the common good and the future of their children, more than short term interests … What would induce anyone to hold onto power only to be remembered for their inability to take action when it was urgent and necessary to do so…’ Pope Francis …. Laudato Deum#60’’
