Seamus Devitt C.Ss.R

After Psalm 42!

I have wanted to share this for some time, now - to drop this prayer like a pebble into a pool, not knowing how far the ripples may go: A Prayer for Putin: ‘Circle him, O Lord, with your Precious Blood, which can do all things.’

New life, in the roughest of places!

“We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the others.”- Pope Francis, March 27 last year, ‘Urbi et Orbi’ (City & World) Blessing

Moral theology, the pope said, cannot be only about principles and formulations, but must respond to the reality of the person in need. americamagazine.org/faith/2021/03/…

RT Pontifex: Through recollection and silent prayer, hope is given to us as interior light, illuminating the challenges and choices we face in our mission. Hence the need to pray and, in secret, to encounter the Father of tender love (Mt 6:6). #Lent

“I ask God, the source of all wisdom and truth, to guide your efforts to foster understanding, reconciliation and peace within the United States,” Pope Francis wrote. americamagazine.org/faith/2021/01/…

Karl Rahner: “You’re actually only really dealing with Jesus when you throw your arms around him and realize right down to the bottom of your being that this is something you can still do today.” americamagazine.org/faith/2020/10/…

Strange to celebrate Mass in an empty Cathedral in Ballaghaderreen this morning as we live through Level 3 restrictions. However, St. Paul encourages us in the second reading; ‘There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the one who gives me strength.’

The witness of Blessed Carlo Acutis indicates to today's young people that true happiness is found by putting God in first place and serving Him in our brothers and sisters, especially the least.

RT Pontifex: Belief in God, and the worship of God are not enough to ensure that we actually live in a way pleasing to God. The guarantee of an authentic openness to God is a way of practising the faith that helps open our hearts to our brothers and sisters. #FratelliTutti

“We have done everything possible to dialogue with Fr. Flannery. It has not always been easy. We have done everything possible” Ladaria is a Jesuit; he knows what ‘dialogue’ entails. He must know this statement is false. This has upset me this evening

Good to see #Redemptorist Fr. Gerry O'Connor tweeting about his #vocation today. @RedComsIreland @ClonardMBelfast @adriangegan @GerardRMoloney @gerrobo @DevittRed @JohnnyDoherty3 @BrendanDineenBD @BrendaDrumm @andreaspaffi38 @RedsLimerick @Scalanews1

RT Pontifex: It is not easy to live in the light. The light makes us see many ugly things within us: vices, pride, the worldly spirit. But Jesus tells us: "Take courage; let yourself be enlightened, because I save you". Let us not be afraid of Jesus's light! #HomilySantaMarta

For some people, the question of their calling is very difficult to decipher; for others, it follows from an early intuition and practically unfolds of its own accord. A religious vocation often requires thoughtful accompaniment. Try #Redsliving @ClonardMBelfast @RedComsIreland

When you find what you are called to do, your life takes on a focus and purpose. For many, a religious vocation guides you into #rhythm with the deeper longing of your heart. Try #Redsliving @ClonardMBelfast @RedComsIreland #Redemptorists @ucdchaplaincy @CatholicYouthMI
