C&SI - Summer Reflection Series 2026 - "Catholic Mothers Ireland with Sinead Strong" (TheWay.ie) - 16 Aug 2026 (S06E37)

During the summer months here on C&SI we try to share with listeners reflections and talks which we have come across which we think deserve a wider audience and to provide some thoughtful listening for our listeners. On this weeks podcast we have an interview from TheWay.ie with Sinead Strong who explains how 'Catholic Mothers Ireland' supports women in their many roles as mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends and helps them draw closer to Jesus.In part one we have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends including the up coming saints of the week. We also highlight the up coming speakers of the second week of the National Novena at Knock. Since 1977, the National Novena to Our Lady of Knock has taken place at Knock Shrine, welcoming pilgrims from across Ireland and abroad to gather in prayer and reflection. This year’s theme, “Sheltered in God’s Love,” marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of Knock Basilica and reflects its continuing role as a place of faith, hope and community for all who visit this sacred place.In part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel which this week is Matthew 15:21–28, featuring the account of the persistent Canaanite woman who begs Jesus to heal her daughter.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
