SacredSpace102fm - Faith and Hope in what is: A Reflection with Noirin Lynch - 3 May 2020 (S10E24)

On this weeks programme John and Shane are joined by an old friend of the radio programme - Noirin Lynch. As always through music, poetry and reflection Noirin leads us through some thought provoking and often slightly different way of looking at how we are dealing with our current situation and how do we find hope in the midst of so much change?She reminds us that we are in unfamiliar times, so old usual’s can be great but can also be useless. And that’s ok. What matters is that we connect with God, not how we connect in this strange new time!We have our regular visit to the saints of the week as well as our reflection on this weeks Sunday's gospel which of course is the gospel of Good Shepherd Sunday or Vocation Sunday.Items referenced by Noirin during her reflection this week which listeners may like to look into:In impossible Darkness - A poem by Kim RosenDo you know howthe caterpillarturns?Do you rememberwhat happensinside a cocoon?You liquefy.There in the thick blackof your self-spun womb,void as the moon before waxing,you melt(as Christ didfor three daysin the tomb)conceivingin impossible darknessthe sheerinevitabilityof wings.Lascaux – cave paintings Pema Chodrun – Turn your thinking upside down Sarah Bessey – Love the particular The Pale blue dot Rebecca Solinit - Life inside this strange new fairy taleText us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
