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
Trinity Sunday 2026
Exodus 34: 4-6, 8-9
2 Corinthians 13: 11-13
John 3: 16-18
When it comes to considering the Blessed Trinity we are sometimes inclined to over-philosophise and reduce our meditation and contemplation to mental gymnastics and theological words and terms. The doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity is a mystery! This mystery is something to be savoured and accepted through the gift of Faith which has recently been enriched through our liturgical celebrations of Easter and Pentecost.
When Jesus came to ‘explain’ the Trinity He did it one-to-one. Nicodemus came to Jesus in the dead of night – so that no one could see him! But the ‘dead of night’ and the silence of the hour was the perfect setting for Jesus to reveal to Nicodemus the Life of God and God’s plan for the world. Jesus explained: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life”. This is a summary of the entire message of evangelisation, the Good News. God loved us so much and God sent Jesus to save us in the power of the Spirit.
