A very sad morning. An all too familiar funeral of a wonderful young man whose life ended so abruptly from suicide. A devastated, heartbroken family left without any answers. There is no coming back from suicide. It’s ok not to be ok.Please anyone burdened by such thoughts TALK..

[Fr. Paddy @frpaddybyrne]

Today is the feast of our Guardian Angel......

Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide. Amen..

The story of 87-year-old Joseph Tuohy, who was originally from Toomevara in Tipperary, is a horrible scar to so many Irish citizens. I pray this day he enjoys the fullness of life in heaven. He gets a first class ticket to new life 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

"Striking for climate is not 'infuriating', it's liberating. These young people know that the system has to be rebuilt, and they're calling on us to get behind them so it can be done."

On the eve of the #climatestrike, @cathmartingreen calls for #systemchangenotclimatechange
