Suaimhneas síoraí tabhair dó a Thiarna, agus go lonraí solas suthain air “You Shall Be My Witness” The final preparation programme concluded last Sunday night in Corofin. A sincere “Thank You” to the 70 pupils in the Imeall Boirne Pastoral Area and to their parents and teachers for their active participation and continued preparation for the Blessed Sacrament of Confirmation in June. Ash Wednesday March 6th marks the beginning of the holiest time of the Christian year. With the priest using his right thumb to apply the ashes while saying the prayer, "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return," the 40-day Lenten season commences. Traditionally, at least one person from every household attends Church on Ash Wednesday so they would bring home a pinch or two, so that all family members could have their foreheads marked. |

This Mother’s Day we pray for mothers around the world who agonise over their children’s futures in the harshest environments. We think of Miriam, who appears on this Lent’s Trócaire Box, as she wonders if she will manage to get her little daughter Maria to safety when the next storm hits northern Honduras and floods their home.
