The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 211

Good morning everyone and welcome once more on this beautiful sunny morning and day 6 of our new lock down. Now, it is another Monday so gather up your energy and positivity for another week ahead. Last evening, I don’t know if you were watching or not, Joe Duffy spoke with Catherine Coreless on TV about the meaning of life and the contents of this great and brave womans account into uncovering this scandal were frightening. It is difficult to believe that my age group growing up in the 50’s and 60’s lived in a parallel universe to all these happenings. It was with us in every parish, the clergy, the nuns, the Gardai and even the teachers may have been involved. I must state that we were very fortunate in West Limerick in that the clergy we had when I was growing up were great, upstanding men outwardly in any case, but recently I have heard stories about women being taken away in the middle of the night and also young men being packed off to faraway armies. Little did we know as we knelt down each night to pray the rosary at our sugán chairs on the limestone flags what suffering was going on around us, suffering to our women. Many young and beautiful and their pathway to life completely cut off. Much is said to the priests and nuns and Gardai and so on but did anyone ask where were the men and who were they that fathered these children? It will take a lot of forgiveness and prayer and cleansing to make up for the dumping of these infant babies into a cold and wet pit. It is now the nations duty to recognise all these babies and for us all to pray for their spiritual forgiveness so they can join us all in our spiritual and every day goings on and our surrounds. I don’t want to start the week on a sad note but I feel so strongly about this matter I felt I should bring it to your attention and for you to pray and bless and send much needed healing to all involved and wear your smile today and a tribute to all involved and please keep them in your prayers and have a very caring and mindful day.
