CHRISTMAS REFLECTION 2011
BY CARDINAL SEÁN BRADY ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND “This is my hope and my prayer for Christmas 2011, that each of us will rediscover the simplicity, hope and joy of that first Christmas. I pray that Ireland as a country will become a gentler, kinder, more compassionate, more caring and more neighbourly place.” – Cardinal Brady

I would stand there, looking out, in awe, over the surrounding countryside and the twinkling Christmas lights at every house as far as the eye could see. The lights seemed all the more magical and reassuring as they broke through the dark of a cold winter’s night. |
