Today we have celebrated a very joyful and unique feast: All the Saints of Ireland!

So my best wishes to all Irish friends here and abroad!:) Personally I consider a great privilege given me from the Lord to be a priest and missionary here on this holy land.

This excerpt from the letter to the Irish (probably written by Benedict XV who established that feast) is my inspirational thought for today:

You have been chosen by the Lord in these last and most calamitous times to renew the pattern of your Church as it was in the beginning. Give yourselves to good works, spend your time in prayer, do nothing contrary to the Catholic religion or to the integrity of that faith you are proud that your ancestors received from this Holy See. You pride yourselves that your ancestors were men so devoted to God that because of this Ireland won the title of Island of Saints. Show then that you are worthy to be their descendants.
