On the way home from
@knockshrine after a wonderful pilgrimage honouring the 4th World Day for Grandparents and Elderly @KANDLEi @tuamarchdiocese @CGrandparents @CatholicNewsIRL
It’s the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne today.
They were the parents of Mary and Grandparents of Jesus!
They are a crucial part of our CGA story and a reminder of the important role of Grandparents in the family!
Happy Feast Day!

It was a joy to present at the monthly @CGrandparents Faith Café on the five lessons I take from my gran, who we always called ‘Gran Gran’, I was amazed in the sharing to hear all the names grandparents are called, such a special place in all our lives @KANDLEi @CatholicNewsIRL

God loved us first. He waited for us. He keeps loving us. This is our identity and our strength: we are God’s beloved.

#Women make the world a more beautiful place; they protect it and keep it alive. They infuse the grace of renewal, the embrace of inclusion, and the courage to make our lives a gift. Peace is born from women; it emerges and is rekindled from the tenderness of mothers.

Jesus has lovingly cared for us, mercifully tended our wounds, opened our hearts to joy with His Spirit. All these are goods that we cannot keep only to ourselves or hide away. We have been showered with gifts, so we are called to make ourselves a gift for others.

La solitudine è l’amara compagna di tanti anziani che sono vittime della cultura dello scarto. Non possiamo dimenticarci di loro! Per questo ho scelto come tema de la prossima Giornata Mondiale dei Nonni e degli Anziani:“Nella vecchiaia non abbandonarmi” (Sal 71,9).
