Graced Horizons

‘Everything in Him speaks of mercy. Nothing in Him is devoid of compassion.’

- Pope Francis, Misericordiae Vultus

In Graced Horizons: A Journey through Mercy, Bishop Brendan Leahy explores the many facets of mercy as illustrated not only in scripture, but in the writings and ‘concrete deeds’ of luminaries through the entire course of Christian history. 

Dear Young Friends

When he spoke to the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who gathered in Kraków for World Youth Day 2016, Pope Francis pointed out to young people the dangers of apathy and materialism, inviting them to leave a mark on history by being pro-active in following Jesus, transforming our broken world. In Dear Young Friends, Bishop Brendan Leahy introduces talks, conversations and dialogues that Pope Francis has had with young people, both at that event and on various other occasions since taking office.

Going To God Together: Reflections Along The Way

Throughout the world, we find traces of an insatiable thirst to bow down spiritually before the Mystery that surrounds life. We see it in a Buddhist temple and in a mosque; in a Passover celebration and a Hindu Diwali festival. A mysterious sense of the Absolute, the transcendent, urges us to reach out beyond all that is around us, excavate deep within us and, above all, make some form of declaration with the whole of our being that we want to be in harmony with God, with others, within ourselves.

Faith Questions

`The "door of faith" (Acts. 14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church'.
With these words, Pope Benedict XVI began his apostolic letter Porta Fidei for the indiction of the Year of Faith.
