Lent Week 3 Friday

It’s late but I wanted to put a word here.

Last night I went to see Blood Brothers in Castlebar.  Amazing performance of a wonderful story that touches every emotion under the sun.  So glad to have been there.  Blood Brothers was my first ever introduction to theatre – a classmate in Maynooth brought me to see it in the Olympia sometime around 1986.  It has remained a favourite.  I think last night was about the fourth or maybe fifth time I’ve seen it through the years and I’d not rule out seeing it again.  The actors are incredible.  One of its most iconic songs has to be “Tell me it’s not true” – a mother wishing against all the odds that what is before her eyes is not true.

Thoughts with people who have to live with bad news and find a way forward.  A prayer for strength.


This quick thought was shared with me – I liked it:

“Today …. spend more time with people who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you.”
