KNOCK

A recent visit to Knock revived and renewed my faith in God and especially in people.

It makes sense that when Our Lady appeared in Knock, she showed herself to the local people, young and old, people of simple Faith.

Times have changed and the present standard of the world affords us opportunities to gain knowledge and education and better standards of living etc.

This is good, up to a point, yet what a shame if we lose the wisdom and knowledge that comes from having and using our Faith in God's goodness.

My impression of Knock is a place where simplicity and honesty and good-will are fostered and welcomed and helps us to go back to the roots of our beliefs, in knowing that we have a Loving Mother and that God is present in our lives and loves us with all the wonder of a Father's Love.
