Most of my family in County Wicklow Ireland don't even go to Mass anymore. From the 1960's to the mid 1990's, the people of Bray, Greystones and other cities were desperately poor. They barely had enough for food, and yet the Priests in the area were always living in much better conditions than his people. There is 30 years of resentment towards the local Priests.
Ireland doesn't need anymore 70 year old Priests, they have plenty. Please Lord send young Priests in their 40's and 50's to inspire people back to Mass and we need the younger Priests so they have enough energy to go out and personally bring back people to the Church For Ireland to come back to the faith, and I mean teenagers, 20's, 30's, 40's, then the Priest need to go LITERALLY door to door to personally invite them back to Mass. Address their concerns, and be humble and invite these wonderful people back to the Catholic Church. With so many years of resentment, the Church really needs to make a huge effort to re-engage the Irish population. May St. Patrick and St. Brigid and St. Columba intercede to encourage their weakend faith. Laus Deo! AMDG ADD A COMMENT (Your e-mail will NOT be published):
