Remember and pray

for those for whom

Peace is elusive this Christmas

 

The Scar of Bethlehem artwork features a nativity scene with Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus – but instead of a star hanging over the crib, there is what appears to be a large bullet hole piercing an imposing grey wall.  Banksy’s latest piece – his take on a nativity scene – has been unveiled at his hotel which overlooks the border wall in the divided city of Bethlehem.

 
 

Remember and pray

who are in need this Christmas

    As I said at @ACPinIreland just now, a very happy Christmas, a hope-filled 2020, and much gratitude to all of ACP’s Leadership Team, past and present, for the past decade of great work. It would be good to see greater use both by Leadership and all punters of the new ACP Twitter account in the year ahead. You can say a lot in 280 characters. If Pope Francis@Pontifex, or his handlers, and even the Irish Bishops can do it . . . . .
