Episode Details

Fr. Peter George Flynn welcomes Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan of Waterford and Lismore for a wide-ranging Easter Tuesday conversation. They reflect on the road to Emmaus as a Eucharistic Gospel and the prayer “stay with us Lord Jesus” as a model for our own times; the bishop reports growing Easter crowds in Waterford as a sign of hope. He describes his Good Friday with the Indian Catholic community climbing Holy Cross Hill in Clonmel, praising their lay initiative and self-organisation as a model for Irish Catholics, and his Ash Wednesday presence on the streets of Waterford city distributing ashes.

He reflects on the challenge of taking faith beyond the four walls of the church into staff rooms, public spaces and social media, quoting his diocese’s youth officer: “We need people to do the hard things.” The conversation turns to a jubilee pilgrimage to Rome, the monstrance blessed by Pope Leo XIV now being used for vocations prayer, and the Pallottines’ Come and See weekend in Thurles. The bishop closes with an episcopal blessing.
