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.”
