FRANCISCAN CONVENT RENEWED - A SIGN OF HOPE

To see so many young women joyfully proclaiming their faith in Christ! This is a work of the Holy Spirit and give me hope. If it can happen there it can happen here. Things may seem bleak in the Church at the moment but as Hopkins wrote "the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast |&| with ah! bright wings." (God's Grandeur)

I met Fra. Cantalamessa some years ago when he came to Ireland for a break. A holy and humble man and a great preacher.
