Courage. Gentleness. Wisdom. A new hymn celebrating St Agatha “O God of Rome’s first faithful ones” (CM)
This hymn grew out of listening rather than certainty. It brings together two women who never met, yet somehow recognise one another across time and land. Saint Agatha, standing her ground in the hard stone world of Rome, and Saint Brigid, whose holiness took root in hearth-fire, field, and care for ordinary people. One knew… Continue reading

Seedtime. Light. Pilgrimage. A new hymn celebrating spring as a sign of God’s renewing grace.
This hymn is offered as a prayer for the turning of the year, when winter loosens its grip, and the first signs of new life appear in field, garden, and soul. Rooted in the landscapes of Kildare and shaped by the rhythms of early spring, it gives thanks for creation renewed and for God’s living… Continue reading

Lead. Glass. Light.
Light beyond all telling, breaking Light beyond all telling, breakingThrough the colours shaped by hand;Bless the artists bent on makingWindows where your wonders stand.As they work with oak‑fast patience,Lead and glass in woven line,Let your breath, like wind on waters,Stir their craft with touch divine.Circle deep with ancient meaning,Sign of love that has no end;Interlace… Continue reading

Ground. Way. Breath.
I’ve been sitting for a while with the idea that faith is something made as much as it is believed—shaped by hands, time, weather, and patience. This hymn grew out of that sense of slow, faithful craft. It’s written with stone in mind: quarries and chisels, walls raised and repaired, the quiet devotion of people… Continue reading

Andrew. Richard. Niamh.
Home woven in three strands: partner, creatures, grace Some prayers begin in silence. Others begin in the small, ordinary movements of a home—the click of the kettle, the soft thump of paws on the stairs, the familiar presence of the person who shares your days. This new hymn grew out of that kind of holiness:… Continue reading

Berries. Stones. Songs.
There are moments when ancient scripture meets the landscapes that formed us, and something quietly transformative happens. This newly written hymn, inspired by Psalm 137, does exactly that—taking the ache of exile and setting it among the Glens of Antrim, where memory, belonging, and spiritual resonance run deep. Rather than retelling the psalm’s sorrow in… Continue reading

Machines. Mercy. Meaning.
In the long, measured hours of dialysis, I began to notice how healing is carried not only by machines and medicine, but by the people who sit beside us, the families who steady us, and the landscape we carry within.
