Editor’s Note:

Click on Kilnalahin, Co Galway above to read ‘Praying Nature at Kilnalahin Friary’ written by Br Cathal Duddy ofm following his visit to Kilnalahan Monastery and Cemetery, Abbey in June 2012.

He very kindly sent us the link to the beautiful page he created.  During his visit he photographed some of the wonderful flora that he discovered and his pictures are well worth seeing and perhaps when you visit the site you too can look out for similar examples.

His page is entitled ‘Praying Nature at Kilnalahin Friary’ and he suggests the following:

“Give yourself a moment to become still, and feel the presence of the God who loves all his creatures including you. Read the piece of scripture below, and absorb it into your being. Then click on a photo, and sit back, gaze & listen to God speaking to you:

All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,

and your friends shall repeat their blessing.

Psalm 144(145), 10″
