The Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals the depth of God's love - a love that is infinite, merciful and for all people. May we let this love transform us and guide our path. #Catholic #SacredHeart #Faith

In May 1986, a new airport opened in Knock in the west of Ireland. It was the dream of an Irish priest, Monsignor James Horan, who raised millions to have it built.

“Synodality is not, first and foremost, a set of procedures. It is an attitude, an openness, a willingness to understand” powerful words from Pope Leo at the Extraordinary Consistory yesterday @KANDLEi @synodalpathway @theway_ie

@IrishCathNews So true. 'These are not just statistics, but individual human lives, and we want people to be conscious that each life lost has meaning and significance.'

The Dáil’s decision this week to advance Sinn Féin’s bill on the three-day reflection period was a disappointing setback. The measure passed at second stage by 86 votes to 70, but the story behind the numbers is every bit as important as the result itself.

What stood out most throughout this debate was where the pressure for change originated. Unlike previous abortion debates, the loudest push did not come from the media. Instead, it came from some of the most determined pro-abortion voices within the political establishment itself.

Equally striking was Sinn Féin’s reluctance to engage in meaningful public debate on the issue. That reluctance is perhaps understandable given that the only substantive on-air exchange on the subject – between Louise O’Reilly of Sinn Féin and Eilís Mulroy on Newstalk Breakfast – proved distinctly uncomfortable for Sinn Féin.

@IrishTimesOpEd @IrishTimes This is a predictable lightweight analysis with no interest in truth-seeking in a democracy nor human flourishing. It equates the word evolve with progress, a bizarre oversimplification that could reasonably be thought of as disinformation or whatever word de jour applies.

The waiting period was a small concession to conscience. Its removal implies even that was too much.

[Laura Perrins BL @LPerrins]

The same people who say we should "trust women" when it comes to a 3 day wait and abortion will tell you the same adults can't be trusted when it comes to where they get their news and media.

@Pontifex War is never desirable but the bitter harvest of our own choices. Every bomb dropped and life shattered indicts the human conscience. Let us reject this madness. In full agreement with@Pontifex

@Independent_ie In a coalition stitched together for stability, junior partners have been handed key briefs but zero profile. Result? Policies on migration, housing targets & infrastructure roll out with minimal scrutiny, while accountability evaporates.

@thejournal_ie I have come to the realisation that many of our political leaders lack real hope and deep courage. There are few politicians now who can express any real hope for the future of humanity, instead preferring to latch onto nihilistic ideologies that deny what matters most.

@independent_ire I have come to the realisation that our key political leaders lack real hope and deep courage. Within FF, FG, SF, SD there are few who can express any real hope for the future of humanity, instead preferring to latch onto nihilistic ideologies that deny what matters most.

@CatholicArena Among human rights, the first is the right to life, from conception to its natural end, without which it is impossible to exercise any other right. When this fundamental right is denied, we are faced with choices that are gravely wrong.

A bulbul created a snug nest for its babies in the hood of a Franciscan friar's habit. The friars also put up a little flyer cautioning everyone to not disturb the birds.

St. Francis of Assisi is also the patron saint of birds and animals.

When someone is in crisis, the answer is not less time, less support and less reflection. The answer is more.

@DermotKearney3 @eilismulroy @sinnfeinireland Nothing depicts the brokenness of a society more than when even modest protections for life are targeted by politicians. This is not progress nor compassion.

[Senator Rónán Mullen @RonanMullen]

‘Why Deny the Obvious Child?’ Today, in the Seanad, I regretted the negative leadership coming from the Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD, the Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD and the Minister for Health @CarrollJennifer who are supporting Sinn Féin’s @sinnfeinireland move to get rid of the three-day reflection period before abortions. They are doing nothing to try and lower the number of abortions - only supporting a move that will increase the number of lives lost and leave more women with abortion regret. It’s lamentable.

Slow resurrection in the soul of Ireland…
Not loud revival, but a quiet revolution - families praying, young feet on pilgrim paths, the eternal leaning close.

Who else sees these small but hopeful signs? #CatholicIreland
