Bishop Brendan Leahy The Bishop of Limerick has urged the public to work together to overcome the growing “restlessness” with Covid-19 restrictions for the “common good”.
Dr Brendan Leahy used sport as an example in his weekly homily to explain how all of us has “an impact on each other” when it comes to life and death.
“A certain restlessness is now inevitable,” he said. “We see signs of the strain. Worse still, a growth in domestic violence. Now is a time to remember what is often called the common good.
“There’s a huge victory for us ahead,” Bishop Leahy added, “but it is going to take sacrifice and it’s going to take teamwork.
“We are the team. If we don’t truly commit throughout the ‘season’, we will lose. And we’re not talking about a sports championship, we are talking life and death,” he said.
