Reaching out7 July 2020 - 9:58 amWhat a time it’s been these past few months of needing to live differently, for our own safety and for that of others. How counter-intuitive it has been having to pull back from family and friends, with some of us having to cocoon or even self-isolate in order to ensure community health and well-being. We […]

Advent gives us riches, stored in secret places
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020‘I will give you….riches stored in secret places’. (Isaiah 45:3) This verse from Isaiah, pledging hidden riches, was written at the end of the exile, a time of homecoming. God assures his people, not just of a new home, but of one which is thrilling beyond expectations, where treasures are waiting to be discovered. He […]
Waiting is God’s word
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020“They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) Waiting is something that we regard as a bit of a nuisance. At best it is a waste of time that could be […]
Advent, something that God does
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020We are approaching the season of Advent. Nights are longer, days are colder, and the lights in our homes shine brighter. If we have an Advent wreath, lighting candle after candle each week in our houses and churches, we are guided by their light. Hope, love, joy and peace are traditional meanings for each of […]
A time to remember
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020The change from autumn to winter is a time when the natural cycle of nature in this part of the world invites us to reflect on the reality of change and the inevitable process of ageing and death. It is no coincidence that at this time of the year we often reflect both personally and […]
Looking beyond ourselves in compassion
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020There is a natural human inclination at various times in our life to move into times of introspection and periods of self-reflection. Socrates after all said, “an unexamined life is not worth living”, and while this is relevant for everyone it is particularly important for the follower of Christ and especially so for those involved […]
Integrating the summer into daily life
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020The summer may be nearly over but I decided not to be only a visitor this summer and to enter the season as if the quality of my life depended on it. Our everyday life has challenges, so at times we may feel that we need a deeper restoration. Earlier in the year that’s exactly […]
Wellspring, a taste of God’s goodness
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Wellspring is our one day retreat and recently we offered another one in St Patrick’s Church, Dalkey. It was a rainy Saturday and as I was looking at the pouring rain through the window I was thinking of the talk I gave that morning about Elijah and the value of silence. When Elijah was at […]
Talk to someone, if you need to
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come”. And let him who hears say, “Come”. And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price. (Rev 22:17) Sometimes we Christians think that we have to hold it all together, that we have to be happy and satisfied because […]
Finding the peace within
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Life is often not easy, and I am sure we all struggle with different things from time to time. Life is also beautiful, with moments of connection, growth, learning. Human spirit has a great capacity for exploration and many things about life enrich us, as well as people around us. But in the areas where […]
