The small, humble shrine that the residents of Dublin spontaneously built at the site of Matt Talbot’s death has not survived to this day.

However, his memory lives on! Today, a memorial plaque can be found on Granby Lane, reminding every passerby of the events of June 7, 1925.

Can someone with minimal education grasp complex theology? Venerable Matt Talbot proves it's possible.

This Irish laborer read challenging spiritual books on his knees. When he struggled to understand, he prayed for the light of the Holy Spirit.

Today it is worth remembering that Venerable Matt Talbot prayed the Stations of the Cross privately in church every day for many years.

[Venerable MattTalbot @VenMattTalbot]

Holy Week is approaching, and today is the last Friday before this special time.

If you haven’t yet taken part in the Stations of the Cross, it’s worth taking a moment today to participate and reflect on the mystery of Christ’s Passion. 1/2
