A Morning Prayer From Loreto Abbey Dalkey
Every year Trócaire asks for your help during Lent to fund lifesaving programmes around the world. This year, of course, it was not possible to return Trócaire boxes through schools or parishes in the usual way.
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Each year, a Scripture Summer School takes place in Dublin (Holy Cross Diocesan Centre) and, more recently, in Knock, Co Mayo. Over the years, people have enjoyed being together to talk about their faith and to learn about the Word of God.
Faith In Myself - Marjorie Holmes
God gave me faith in myself,
not only on days when I'm going great and winning
and nothing seems impossible
but on days when the whole world looks lousy
and I'm losing and the road ahead seems too hard.
When I wonder if I'm brave enough, smart enough
and I must be crazy to try,
don't let me quit Lord, not ever.
