BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS Celia, Anne, Deacon Brian and I will have returned from an inspiring and
challenging few days with Father Daniel O’ Leary. His books and Tablet articles
are becoming more and more known and it was wonderful to meet him and listen to
him. He entitled his approach as ‘O World invisible we view thee’ and his
intention was to help us see again the mighty power of God’s love and to make
sure that we do not block this love. Father
Daniel was very insistent that one of the most effective ways of blocking this
love of God was to be unforgiving. Listen all of us who need to listen.
We
had a meeting with Father Daniel to discuss his visiting our parish next
April………what a grace that will be for all of us.
