Dear Editor, This country at the present time is going through the greatest crisis of faith. For a long time I prayed for another papal visit to this country – now Pope Francis is coming in 2018, and please God there will be a healing of the wounds of the past and a great revival of faith.
I believe in the power of prayer and over the years a lot of my prayers have been answered – I was cured of a life-threatening illness and recovered from two serious accidents.
I urge people to spend a while in prayer daily and to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Hopefully the Pope’s visit will cause an increase in vocations and this country will have a great revival of faith again.
Yours etc.,
Seamus O Cochrane,
