Pause and Ponder
Welcome to this series of reflections inspired by the Pilgrim Path on the lakeshore at Lough Derg. We offer a new reflection each week from the Prior’s pilgrimage and prayer on the path.
Fr La invites you to notice whatever may speak to you from the images or the text. You can click on the Pause button and stay a little moment with that, and see where it may lead you.
