Reflection

In an era marked by strong currents of secularisation, materialism and individualism, when many people have pushed God to the margins of life, if they haven’t forgotten about Him entirely, Christians can be tempted to lose hope and retreat into a holy huddle... In the midst of such rapid change, some may be tempted to lose heart.
But to despair would be a response that would fly in the face of the Gospel. Christian hope speaks into these difficult contexts. (Bishop Niall Coll)
