For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

I totally agree about showing mercy to the ones closest to us. Sometimes it can be very difficult and needs the hand of God. We sacrifice but lack mercy. Thanks for a lovely reflection.

Thanks for sharing and trust the trip back was a safe one. Sorry to add an edit but Saint Brigid is often spelled with a d. See http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=453. Thanks.

That was well inspired, Carolyne. The rigid rules and judgement of any infringement is death, and must have caused great sorrow–still does in some places–to those who suffered under them. God’s mercy does give life on every level.
And: I’m glad you enjoyed Ireland. As one who lives and worships here, I wouldn’t have agreed with your great praise of their great faith, as we struggle against abortion, media ridicule, and other issues. But then I realized, I have too negative view of our faith life as it is now. I’m always praying for our Church here, and looking for signs that my prayers are “working” , and I feel God is telling me through you that, yes, He hears our prayers. God bless you.

Beautiful Carolyn, It,s so lovely to hear about Ireland and their faith in God. We all need to show mercy not only to strangers but also to the people who are closest to us. That is the real test and most difficult at times. God Bless you.
