SacredSpace102fm - "Tired of all the bad news" by Fr Bryan Shortall - 25 June 2017 (S7E31)
Season 7 Episode 31
Fr Bryan Shortall is a member of the Irish Capuchin province of friars and joins us this week on the programme to reflect on vocation, priesthood and his recently published book "Tired of all the bad news".
Shane and John have an interesting chat with this Dublin born padre about his ministry and his experience of ministering to ordinary people in the midst of their daily lives and struggles.
His book which arose from his blog of the same name is described as "a superb insight into the lessons he has learned through the selflessness of his parishioners, the words spoken ‘out of the mouths of babes’, and a close examination of the gospel message. As Bryan himself says, ‘while we can’t blind our eyes to the struggles of people, of families, of communities, it’s important to listen for the sounds of good news that emerge too.’ This little book is his way of helping to bring that good news into the light." As Fr Bryan reminds us it is about pointing the way to Christ in the midst of our daily lives!
