Thought for the day: Both sons have misconstrued the relationship with their father. The older son wants to relate on a basis of servile loyalty (allegorically, the Law). The younger son, on his return, wishes to relate on the basis of confession of sin and desires to be treated as a slave. The father rejects both projections. Servile loyalty and guilt are not unknown in the Christian tradition! Prayer: Abba, Father, show us your compassion and let us know your love. Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Francis on ‘X’: You have continued to pray for me with so much patience and perseverance: thank you so much! I also pray for you. Let us pray together for peace, especially in martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Pope’s Intention for April – For the use of the new technologies. Let us pray that the use of the new technologies will not replace human relationships, will respect the dignity of the person, and will help us face the crises of our times.

Trócaire’s lenten campaign this year features a family from Guatemala. Ilma and Julio’s hardworking family is being pushed further into poverty by climate change. Fierce storms, drought, crops lost, livelihoods and education opportunities gone. It doesn’t have to be this way! Please give to the Trócaire box appeal this Lent. Together we can help families and communities build a better future. Tá
