Fields of Athenry

Spent a bit of time in Esker this week.  I was with priests from the diocese of Clonfert on their annual Diocesan Retreat.  The days went well, thank God and, as always, it was good to meet others and share a few ideas.  Went for a walk – just the one and a harmless enough one at that!  In the field next the Monastery there are a lot of sheep and newborn lambs.  I took this photo and I think there’s a pose being struck!!  A sort of family photo I suppose!

Safe in the shelter of each other …..

Will get back to a bit of writing in the next few days.  Hope all is going well  ….

Come, let us worship ….

Next week we will begin Eucharistic Adoration in the parish.  This follows on from an invitation by the Parish Pastoral Council to two men to speak to the parishioners at weekend Masses about Eucharistic Adoration.  An invitation was extended to all to become involved and the response was heartening.  In the four church areas of the Parish (Kilmovee, Kilkelly, Glann and Urlaur) there will be times for Adoration from Monday next.

With that in mind, I asked a local electrician to place a spotlight on the Altar in Kilmovee and the above is the result.  Hopefully this light will shine upon the Monstrance and from that shining will come many blessings, insights and answered prayers.
