Reflection
Next weekend we journey to the Holy Well for Garland Weekend. This year
the theme for the weekend is remembering Penal Ireland. We are called to
give thanks for our ancestors who persevered in the faith sometimes against
impossible odds. When Catholics were forbidden to practise their faith they
gathered in the early morning at such places as Tobernalt, waiting for the
priest to emerge from the crowd to celebrate the Sacraments in the quiet
seclusion and isolation ofthe Holy Well.
Today, for many reasons our Church faces a different oppression. Indeed,
Christians throughout the world are persecuted for their faith. Yet against
impossible odds people are standing up for Jesus in actions, words and deeds.
We too are called over this weekend to renewour faith and to declare Jesus as
our leader by our words and actions. Let us honour the people ofPenal
Ireland.
