On this fourth Sunday of Lent and Mother’s Day, Bishop of Killaloe Diocese, Fintan Monahan reflects on this day as a day of refreshment or restfulness from the discipline of Lent, just like Gaudete Sunday during Advent. He also invites us to consider the synodal journey of walking together in the same way as a mother walks with her children. Please do share these videos as widely as possible – on your websites, your social media platforms, and with others on your networks. You’ll continue to find these videos, and other video resources on our website, www.synod.ie on our YouTube Channel, Facebook and Twitter for ease of sharing.
