Wonderful to see so many in Galway Cathedral today, especially our regular visitors from the USA, pausing at the image of Pope Leo XIV. Wherever you are, take a moment to stop and offer a quiet prayer for him as he begins his ministry.

Prayers were offered this morning at Galway Cathedral for the Diocese of Clonfert, our sister diocese, on the feast of their patron, St Brendan. We marked the feast with gratitude for St Brendan’s example and recognised the close ties between our dioceses.

Come, Holy Spirit. Come into my heart with your fire. Breathe new life where I’ve grown tired. Stir faith where I’ve gone quiet. Lead me, guide me, change me. Make me ready for what you want to do— in me, and through me. Amen.

We turn to the Sacred Heart — as a sign of love that suffers with the wounded and stands with the forgotten. In that heart, pierced yet still beating, we place our prayer.
