Sad News

Was in Belfast on Tuesday for funeral of Fr Casimir Haran who died following a short illness. May he rest in peace. He spent a lot of his life as a missionary in Africa. His family are heartbroken and he leaves a gap among us his brethren. Then, the tragedy of the school chidren dying in the bus crash coming home from a holiday. Their families must be inconsolable at this time. As the local priest commented - there is nothing that can be said, we can only cry and stay together. My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their life in that terrible crash. Things like these put a lot of other matters into perspective.       A T
