Celebrating Mass today at 10.30am in @CarlowCathedral marking the Fourth Anniversary of the death of Bishop Jim Moriarty, a favourite verse Jim often quoted: “time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity” (Henry van Dyke) @KANDLEi@theway_ie@IrishCathNews
