Bishop McKeown Virtual Pilgrimage
As you may have seen Bishop McKeown is asking the Diocese to join him in any way as he conducts a virtual pilgrimage of Lough Derg!! I haven’t been in years and hadn’t intended to go back but I’m going to give this a try. I visited Lough Derg on five occasions with some happy memories and others of being sick, tired and half eaten by midges at the stone beds nearest the water. However, there is a wonderful peace and calmness to be found on ‘the island’.
This is a link to Bishop Mc Keown’s message about the virtual pilgrimage -he is asking people to do this for three reasons-to pray for end to the Coronavirus, to pray for those who have been deeply impacted by it-those suffering, those who have died, families grieving loved ones etc and thirdly to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us as to how we live through this time and after this time. https://www.derrydiocese.org/news/a-day-of-prayer-and-penance
Everything you need to participate in the pilgrimage is available in this link. You will need to download and print the prayers. I will also be offering this pilgrimage and prayers for the safety and health of every person in our school community at this time.
