On Thursday, 17 November, Archbishop Dermot Farrell delivered a homily in Church of the Holy Family, Aughrim Street for the Deceased Members of An Garda Síochána in this, their Centenary Year 2022. Opening his reflection, Archbishop Farrell said, “We pray that they may rest in the peace and steadfast care of the One who created us all. Parting from them was very difficult, and it is right that we should give ourselves the quiet comfort of remembrance.”

Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it, for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.
St John Chrysostom
O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.
~ St Augustine
