Seán Walsh: Here’s the Thing!

Sean's own experience of the prayer of presence comes through in this very striking piece. He reminds us that prayer is, above all, an experience of presence, of the Lord's to us and of ours to him. Sean uses words sparingly in his writings. It is, perhaps, a good path to take in prayer also.

It is very difficult to move from condemnation into love. Spending time in contemplation before a crucifix helps.

Dear Mary Grace-Briggs, It is not the Catholic Church that condemns pregnancy outside marriage or the practice of abortion. It is the WORD OF GOD that condemns these incidents and practices. The Church may/can choose to remain silent, and extend support to people who suffer due to these occurrences in their lives. But, how can the Church shy away from proclaiming the Word of God? If it is not for the proclamation of the Word of God, why does the Church have to exist? The Church can't condone wrong and evil in the name of mercy. What it does in our present era is: 'The Church chooses to show mercy to individuals as it condemns their actions.' Isn't that what Jesus always did in the gospel stories?
