Seamus Ahearne continues to be inspired by his early morning walks.
“We walk humbly into the future. We are indeed ‘tiptoeing’ with reverence into that new world, where there are hints of mystery everywhere. ….. Ministry has to change. Parish life has to change. Church has to change. Our understanding of Sacrament has to change. Our concept of Liturgy and worship has to change. We have to change”.Séamus Ahearne: May the nourishment of the earth be yours; may the fluency of the ocean be yours; may the protection of the ancestors be yours; and so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind you. (John O Donohue)
