Our Lady’s Message
"Dear children! Today I invite you to become missionaries of my messages, which I
am giving here through this place that is dear to me. God has allowed me to stay this
long with you, and therefore, little children, I invite you to live with love the messages I
give and to transmit them to the whole world, so that a river of love flows to people
who are full of hatred and without peace. I invite you, little children, to become peace
where there is no peace and light where there is darkness, so that each heart accepts
the light and the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call."

MARRIAGE MATTERS
Called to reflect God’s Love.
“Love one another as I have loved you” With these words Jesus spells out God’s plan
for marriage. As husband and wife we are called each day to give our lives to each
other as completely as we are able. From today let us decide to reflect this ‘sign’ of
God’s love to our children, our family, our friends.
From Two in one flesh (see www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk)
Father Jim writes… It is noticeable to visit schools and colleges these days to find that young
people don’t like the name catholic. Its not cool or popular. Thy must hear some call to be a
witness for Jesus. It seems okay to be his friend. How can we be Easter people to others. A
snake escaped from his case on the Dublin to Galway train, where was St. Patrick when you
needed him. People were standing on tables and backs of chairs. Has he to come back and
drive out snakes and demons again? We must not bring demons into our neighbours lives.
Jesus said: “I am going to prepare a place for you in heaven” - believe Him!
