Seamus Ahearne reminds us that grace filled moments can come about in chance encounters, even in the sad and bitter memories from the past. “He still can’t grasp how those in the Institutions and those out on the farms, who were full of God and faith, never displayed anything of the God of love. That haunts him. He doesn’t feel bitter about anything else. It is the model of God presented, that hurts most deeply. Mass, Benediction and prayers were very important but there wasn’t any sign of the God of love.” ….. ” A new Church is needed. New worship is needed. New vision is needed. No one else is going to do it. We have to get on with it.”
Tony Flannery gives a brief report of his recent trip to the U.S.A. “While the U.S. Church is deeply divided, there are some real signs of light.”
Zoom is a stilted medium, but it worked like magic yesterday. I was only able to sit in on the first hour of the meeting, but I found the four presentations fascinating and edifying. Then I sat in on a discussion of Irish mysticism in St Petersburg (the Irish participants were Dermot Keogh, Damian Bracken, and Peter McDonagh). The Russians enthused about Irish mystical sites such as Newgrange, Glendalough, Gougane Barra, and Yeats’s Tower.
Well done team. You carried off the AGM with aplomb. Gerry – you handled everything and coordinated all the disparate parts expertly. Thank you. It was quite some achievement. The Summary of events/involvement and work of the Leadership team, was impressive. But the work itself was clearly so demanding and so essential. Liamy’s administrative role, seems to be expanding at a rapid rate and matters deeply. Appreciation and praise was given to the Liturgy resources people and so deserved. (Pat Rogers contribution was rightly highlighted). The work too of Mattie and now Liamy as Moderators of the site, is a great gift. The site is really the public and constant face of the ACP. You are all a blessing for us.
