RT Pontifex: Through recollection and silent prayer, hope is given to us as interior light, illuminating the challenges and choices we face in our mission. Hence the need to pray and, in secret, to encounter the Father of tender love (Mt 6:6). #Lent

Strange to celebrate Mass in an empty Cathedral in Ballaghaderreen this morning as we live through Level 3 restrictions. However, St. Paul encourages us in the second reading; ‘There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the one who gives me strength.’

The witness of Blessed Carlo Acutis indicates to today's young people that true happiness is found by putting God in first place and serving Him in our brothers and sisters, especially the least.

RT Pontifex: Belief in God, and the worship of God are not enough to ensure that we actually live in a way pleasing to God. The guarantee of an authentic openness to God is a way of practising the faith that helps open our hearts to our brothers and sisters. #FratelliTutti

“We have done everything possible to dialogue with Fr. Flannery. It has not always been easy. We have done everything possible”
Ladaria is a Jesuit; he knows what ‘dialogue’ entails. He must know this statement is false. This has upset me this evening

Good to see #Redemptorist Fr. Gerry O'Connor tweeting about his #vocation today. @RedComsIreland @ClonardMBelfast @adriangegan @GerardRMoloney @gerrobo @DevittRed @JohnnyDoherty3 @BrendanDineenBD @BrendaDrumm @andreaspaffi38 @RedsLimerick @Scalanews1
My religious vocation was unexpected & startled friends & families. Reading Thomas Merton helped me to make sense of it all. 30 years later, I still seek him out, when both surprised and confused by what life brings. @ThomasMertonGBI @ThomasMertonalc @thomasmerton @ThomasMerton_

RT Pontifex: It is not easy to live in the light. The light makes us see many ugly things within us: vices, pride, the worldly spirit. But Jesus tells us: "Take courage; let yourself be enlightened, because I save you". Let us not be afraid of Jesus's light! #HomilySantaMarta

For some people, the question of their calling is very difficult to decipher; for others, it follows from an early intuition and practically unfolds of its own accord. A religious vocation often requires thoughtful accompaniment. Try #Redsliving @ClonardMBelfast @RedComsIreland

When you find what you are called to do, your life takes on a focus and purpose. For many, a religious vocation guides you into #rhythm with the deeper longing of your heart. Try #Redsliving @ClonardMBelfast @RedComsIreland #Redemptorists @ucdchaplaincy @CatholicYouthMI

We should strive to keep our hearts open to the sufferings and wretchedness of other people and pray continually that God may grant us that spirit of compassion which is truly the spirit of God. // St Vincent de Paul

Once again, I experienced chaotic & distresing scenes at Uni Hospital Limerick, as a loved one in his advanced 80's lies on a trolley in crowded corridors for 2 days. Can we speak of Ireland as a progressive society or a successful economy, when this prevails? @SimonHarrisTD

The first sign of a religious #vocation is often a sense of being unsettled, restlessness, and a longing in the midst of busyiness and fun and socilizing , for quietness and personal space. #BeRedemptorist

I feel physically ill. Our Holy Week is hitting with a heavy loss. Notre Dame de Paris is on fire. My favorite church in all the world. I’ve been so many times. To Easter mass even. Dear Lord 💔🙏🏼 I send my deepest condolences to the French people. And to all Christians. 💔🙏🏼✝️

"Whoever would become a saint, must, during this life, resemble the lily among thorns, which, however much it may be pricked by them, never ceases to be a lily; that is, it is always equally sweet and serene."

The seminary said its decision "in no way" signals approval or agreement with recent attacks against the Jesuit.
