Easter Monday morning , we received news at almost the same time, of two deaths- one of Pope Francis, the other of our beloved Brother Nicholas Healy (94) who died in our local hospital. May they both rest in the peace of Christ. We are in double mourning here in our monastery in Limerick.

News of two deaths came almost at the same time, this Easter Monday morning- Pope Francis, and our own Brother Nicholas Healy (94) who died in our local hospital. ‘Leaba i measc na Naomh’ - a bed among the Saints- be to each of them. We are in double mourning in our community. Both of them lit up our lives.
