Pope Francis in poetical mood before the Synod
“Now falls the evening on our assembly. It is the time when you willingly return home to find themselves at the same table, in the depth of affection, the good done and received, meetings that warm the heart and make it grow, the good wine which anticipates in the days of mankind the celebration without sunset.”

The Choice (by Edith Eger)
Memories of a visit to Auschwitz and the life story of Edith Eger inspire Seamus Ahearne.
“If Edith can parallel her life story with the life stories of her patients, I wonder where might we go, if we took her methods into our story of faith and church and ministry. We are so often imprisoned in sadness. We apologise for the past. We are embarrassed by that past. We blame others. We feel that we have failed. …. We can’t let go. We don’t want to get out of prison. We are afraid to wander into freedom and future and hope.”
Love comes from Prayer
Chris McDonnell writes “The choice of where to pray and when to pray has come down to us through subsequent years; for now, this Spring, we have limited options.” and he reminds us of Teilhard de Chardin who found himself in the Ordos Desert in China in 1923, unable to offer the Eucharist and wrote “Since once again, Lord I have neither bread, nor wine, nor altar,
I will raise myself beyond these symbols, up to the pure majesty of the real itself. I your priest will make the whole earth my altar and on it will offer you all the labours and sufferings of the world.’
Seán.
That was very moving. ‘The mother giving him the elbow.’ ‘Best of all, the woman at the well.’ ‘Sidle up to him. My face against his shoulder.’ ‘Ne’er a word.’ ‘But will it work? Will it what?’ ‘Limitless love. All you need is a heart and a nudge.’ Seán. It was lovely to eavesdrop on your reflection. Yes. It did remind me of listening in to Andria Bocelli’s reflection on horseback. I cringe when people use the following words all the time: Awesome. Amazing. Stunning. But in your case, these all apply completely.
