Fine, fine images.

Just the place I mostly go these days, St Kevin's church Dublin, diocesan. Fr Deighan, the Parish Priest (for some reason Abp Martin calls the PP the Administrator) is delivering a homily. The hope is to restore the stenciled painting seen in the restored sanctuary throughout the church. The photo was taken by John Briody somewhere before the outer altar rails.

edit, second photo by same photographer of the same from another angle.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

The Curt Jester

St. Rose of Lima, Kankakee, IL

The church is in danger of being closed and torn down in favor of a church that looks like a carpeted meeting hall.   

The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the Monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!"

My former parish.  I used to work there, too, in [slightly] saner times.   There is a campaign to save the church, but I get the impression that the current pastor wants it closed and the bishop is washing his hands and claiming the responsibility is not his.   I wrote him a letter telling him that it is.

That is so sad. :/
