Martyrs of Compiegne canonised
The Martyrs of Compiègne, 16 members of the Carmel of Compiègne, France, were canonised on 18th December 2024 by Pope Francis and now have been entered into the particular calendar of the Discalced Carmelites on July 17, as an obligatory memory. This community were executed by the guillotine towards the end of the Reign of Terror, at what is now the Place de la Nation in Paris on 17 July 1794. They offered their lives for peace in Franc and ten days after their execution, the Reign of Terror ended. Sr Therese-Marie of this community has written a book about the Martyrs which will be published soon.Nature Corner: Mistle Thrush
These spring mornings we are often woken by the singing of the mistle thrushes who live in our garden. Their song is melodic but repetitive and charecterished by a sudden stop to the musical phrases. The thrushes are often seen on our lawns or field picking for worms, and they often squabble with magpies and crows, vigorusly defending their territory with a harsh noise that sounds like an old-fashioned football rattle! To learn more about mistle thrushes, see the Birdwatch Ireland website: click hereMeeting for Formators
Sr Mary Noeleen of our community and Sr Emy of New Ross attended a meeting for formators in MinsterAcres retreat centre near Newcastle, UK, from 24-28th February. There were Sisters from England, Scotland, Wales, Lithuania and Netherlands also present.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Supreme Pastor of the Church, we thank you for the ministry of Pope Francis, and the selfless care with which he has led us as Successor of Peter, and your Vicar on earth. Good Shepherd, who founded your Church on the rock of Peter’s faith and have never left your flock untended, look with love upon us now, and sustain your Church in faith, hope and charity. Grant, Lord Jesus, in your boundless love for us a new Pope for your Church who will please you by his holiness and lead us faithfully to you, who are the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen.
