ENCOURAGECHANGE.: Reflection by Bishop Brian Farrell for the inauguration of the Week of Prayer in Ireland: "'The deaf and dumb man of St Mark's Gospel stands for all of us, individually and collectively. As in the case of the man who could neither hear nor speak, if the Lord loosens our tongues, our ability to understand and to speak out, in truth and honesty, would surely be a blessing for our society.'TWO YEARS AND SEVEN MONTHS?AND THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY SERIOUS ISSUES?IS IT ANY WONDER THE 'COUNTRY' AND 'WORLD'IS THE WAY IT IS?"
