A Celtic Journey with St. John of the Cross
We would like to share with you two beautiful musical reflections in honour of Our Lady and St John of the Cross recorded by Kerrie O’Connor and friends in our Chapel. We vacated the Chapel one afternoon while they did all the hard work!! The first one is available on youtube and the second will be available for the feast of St John of the Cross on 14th December. We hope you will enjoy. https://youtu.be/R2YGDeZ0haE

Sunday Reflection
2nd Sunday of Easter 2026
Acts 2:42-47
1 Peter 1:3-9
John 20:19-31
The name ‘Doubting Thomas’ certainly caught on! And for the past two thousand years Thomas has been known for all the wrong reasons – or has he?
Thomas was a very serious man, even intense. When Jesus decided to go up to Jerusalem to face his fate, it was Thomas who suggested that he would go to die with him. At the time when Jesus was explaining his return to the Father and the used the wonderful analogy of ‘the way, the truth and the Life’ it was Thomas who asked the pertinent question; ‘we do not know where you are going, so, how can we know the way?’
Thomas had invested a great deal in the Lord and now. after Jesus had died, he was distraught and the ‘rumours’ and gossip about the Resurrection must have aggravated him greatly. Another report of a sighting was too much for him and dramatically he retorts that he needs concrete, physical proof.
