Strength and Courage

Last Sunday was a bit surreal as I read the Word of God to an empty church in Mount Argus but to many on the Web the world over.

Just as we look after our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing Faith, Hope and Charity is never more in need through the present crisis.

7 mile run in eerie calm, quiet and dark Dublin tonight.

Some beautiful words from Pope Francis recently whatever your faith or belief we can all take something from this:

“Tonight before falling asleep think about when we will return to the street.

When we hug again, when all the shopping together will seem like a party.

Let's think about when the coffees will return to the bar, the small talk, the photos close to each other.

We think about when it will be all a memory but normality will seem an unexpected and beautiful gift.

We will love everything that has so far seemed futile to us.

Every second will be precious.

Swims at the sea, the sun until late, sunsets, toasts, laughter.

We will go back to laughing together.

Strength and courage.
