Day 3 of the Season of Creation - we focus on water. Laudato Si’ reminds us “water is a common and universal good. It is very precious and essential for life, for integral development, and for the protection of human rights. We have the responsibility to protect it and use it with sobriety, gratitude and fairness” (par. 30) @KANDLEi @theway_ie

You are invited to read the pastoral letter from Bishop Denis that was shared in parishes last weekend, as well as the homily given by Bishop Denis at the letter's launch in the Cathedral. kandle.ie/a-pastoral-letter-… @BishopDNulty @CatholicBishops

Today marks the opening of the Season of Creation - marked by Christians throughout the world from 1st September to 4th October. See kandle.ie for resources for this special time of praying, reflecting on and taking action to care for our common home. @BishopDNulty

Lovely to be in St. Patrick’s Church, Rathoe to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Fr. Jim O’Connell, who was ordained on this exact day sixty years ago @KANDLEi @theway_ie @IrishCathNews

Great to be here at our @KANDLEi ‘Parishes Alive Day’, great input by Dr. Oonagh O’Brien on Synodality as a style of Church rooted in our baptism - ‘I am baptised’ - ‘I am confirmed’ - sacraments are vocational, all of us called to mission @theway_ie @IrishCathNews

Janet Forbes of Archdiocese of Armagh offers us tools for being synodal at parish level during our @KANDLEi Parishes Alive Day, great to gather with so many reflecting on parish life @theway_ie @IrishCathNews

The opening line of @Pontifex Encyclical Letter ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ begins “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together” it’s the choice that stares us every day. To hear the words of Pope Leo let us read beyond the opening lines into the depth of an encyclical that allow us to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that the AI technology revolution poses @KANDLEi @theway_ie
