The #marmalade making season has begun with the arrival of a box of beautiful @OrganicRoldan #SevilleOranges Nom nom 😋 🍊 Soooo fresh and squeezey 😀

It’s St Martin’s Day!!! A happy and peaceful day to all Martins, to all 1962 Martins (and Martinas) especially and to all Dominicans. @irishdominicans @Dominican_Order

First purchase from @navalmilitary press and @penswordbooks Looking forward to some great reading before upcoming trips. Top quality books and service. Thanks to @RoyalMail @parcelforce @Postvox for safe & speedy delivery 📦. Highly impressed. @MilHistNow

I can’t believe it, I got first place in the Coastal Landscape category of the Love Your Coast competition for my shot of Balbriggan Lighthouse.

@FulhamFC Great days … and more to come. The best news today!

A message from Tom Cairney.

È impossibile descrivere la bellezza di Siena sotto la luna toscana, ma ecco un tentativo.

@frpaddybyrne Our faith is that all life comes from God and will return to Him. The kingdom of heaven belongs to His children (Matthew 19:14) and surely to those murdered through abortion. The Lord will never forget His own (Isaiah 49:15. May the poor innocents ask God’s forgiveness on us all.

English Parliament has voted to decriminalise abortion up to birth. I really wonder what have we become….

Before he was Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost had heard about 16-year-old Donal Walsh who was dying of cancer in the west of Ireland. He was so impressed by Donal's deep that he wrote him a letter offering to make him an honorary Augustinian. And two days before he died, Donal was sworn in. This is the story of a teenager whose courage and conviction inspired Ireland, and also a future Pope.

A happy #GoodFriday today. An amazing #HarryClarke #StainedGlassWindow for an amazing day ✝️.

A brilliant afternoon at #DCUGraduation. Delighted to be there with new @DCUAlumni and especially @ConorReale Phenomenal! 😀👍

Congratulations to newly minted Dr @ConorReale on the successful defence of his Doctoral thesis - a phenomenological exploration of teachers civic identity. A truly excellent achievement Conor and phenomenally well done 😀 @JoeOHaraDCU @EQI_DCU @OireachtasNews 👍

Powerful words to resound through all eternity at the baptism of grandson Donnacha Kevin today, ‘I claim your soul for Christ our saviour by the sign of His cross’. ❤️

@MartinaFitz1 Yes, of course Martina! How could I forget? My mum did the same novena praying for a safe delivery and promising that the child would be named after the saint. I’ve kept her St Martin statue. Happy memories … and we can go again on 11th with our other Martin 😀

Thanks to Pope John XXIII, my mother and St Martin de Porres on 3rd November. A joyous day to be a Martin. 😀

1 Chronicles 29:11-13: Greatness, power, splendor, glory, and majesty are yours, LORD, because everything in heaven and on earth is yours 🙏

September: From #thehappiestschoolinireland to #thehappiestretirementinireland Nothing else to say … 🏝️☀️😀

Appealing for support and to spread the word for our great friends from @KilleaghGAA - the Motherway family and young Rory. A lovely young chap. In need of our help and working so hard himself in Rehab ❤️ So brave. Please donate and share. Thank you.

A degenerate & insane provocation to world Christianity and heritage at #Paris2024 #Olympics #openingceremony Ultimately, a feeble mockery and nothing more. Non nobis Domine - Not unto us O Lord … but to thy name give glory. Psalm 115:1 👍 youtu.be/AWb0Z5yA1XA?si… via @YouTube

Happy feast day to our #Carmelite fathers and friends #OurLadyOfMountCarmel #BrownScapular. Sharing this photo of artwork, taken last week at the truly amazing museum of Saint Teresa of Jesus at Ávila, España.

At it again! Rain, rain go away. Come again another day. 😀
