Prayer for Lent
Loving Father,
at Baptism, You called us into a
relationship of love.
To help us, You give us the
light of Faith.
To comfort us, You fill our
hearts with Hope.
As we journey together
through Lent,
we call on Your Holy Spirit to
accompany us,
to rekindle the light of Faith,
to renew in us the joy of Hope,
that we may arrive to the
celebration of Your Son’s
passion, death and
ressurection,
with Mary our Mother and the
Angels and Saints,
in the company of our sisters
and brothers,
with faith rekindled and hope
renewed.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
We were delighted to visit Maynooth University’s Economics Department recently. The Sixth Year Economics class along with TY Students enjoyed an introduction to the university including a tour of the campus and engaged very well with the Maynooth Student Ambassadors. It was wonderful to visit the library, seeing the Egg Chair beds for those vital forty winks and the treadmill that generates electricity. We even got to meet the university cat, Seamus! Our sincere thanks to the Head of Economics Department Dr Tuvana Pastine for her warm welcome and introduction to Economics through the 1997 Financial Times ‘Guessing Game’. Well done to the victor Sai McNab! It was a fantastic day. Thank you to Mr Dowling for all his hard work in organising such an informative and interesting day.
