Sixth Thursday of Lent - April 5th 2001
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength that will endure
as long as life lasts.
There is symbolic as well as actual beauty
in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides,
the folded bud ready for spring.
There is something infinitely healing 
in the repeated refrains of nature - 
the assurance that dawn comes after night, 
and spring after winter.

Rachel Carson

Circle of Prayer
A Circle of Prayer around the world praying for and with each other, for peace and for a world in crisis. Please read more about it and perhaps join us, prayer was never more needed than it is in these times!

Holy Souls Crusade

Praying all year round for the souls of our deceased relatives and friends, for the souls of those most in need of prayer and for those souls in purgatory who have nobody to pray for them.


Moytura has several other sites with a 'Christian flavour'. As part of the 'Journey' section of the website join me to learn a little of the Early Christian Church in Ireland by visiting Clonmacnoise, started by St. Ciaran on the banks of the River Shannon in the 6th. Century. 
Read about Saint Brendan the Navigator who started a Monastic settlement in the tiny village of Clonfert on the Galway/Offaly/Tipperary border, again in the 6th century. 

Travel on my journeys to two of Canada's most famous Catholic Shrines - 
Saint Anne de Beaupré and Cap de la Madeleine, both on the shores of the Saint Lawrence river in Quebec. Finally 

I welcome you to come with me to see a little of Medugorje, a peaceful haven in a war-torn country - Bosnia Herzogonia. 

On a much lighter note we have a full section called Prayerful Thoughts & Thoughtful Prayers

Please also pay a visit to  Moytura's Irish Bookshop where you can find books on the history of
Christianity in IrelandIrish Prayers and Celtic Christianity
