 QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK                                                                                        (Fr O’Flynn –Intercom)                                                                                        Q. Would St Patrick have any special message if he were here in Ireland today? A. He would be happy to see so many people striving to live Christian lives yet sad to see the drift towards violent crime, the materialism which dims the eye of conscience, the abuse of drugs and alcohol and the weakening of faith as a source of light and strength in life. During this Year of Faith he would encourage each one to be a missionary just as he was, dedicated to God in mind and action, working to bring the beautiful Christian message and ideals to all people.
