People who have endured the most don't shout the loudest but they know the value of life and the tragedy of violence.
The first year of the new millennium is nearly at an end and Christmas is upon us once more. During the year there were occasions of great sadness, but also many signs of hope. The terrorist attacks on the United States in September shocked and saddened us all. They left many families even in Ireland and some in our own diocese bereaved. We hope the sadness of that event was tempered by the tremendous outpouring of sympathy and prayer that was expressed in our churches and places or worship on the day of mourning, September 14th. In our solidarity with those who were suffering, our own faith and hope were renewed.
