Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Cardinal Cormac Murphy O鈥機onnor:

Today is 17th March 鈥� St Patrick鈥檚 Day.聽 It is a feast not only in Ireland but all over the world.聽 They say in New York that even the beer is green!

But I want to speak of two phrases in the Irish language, which are particularly characteristic of the Irish people.聽 The first phrase is, Ceol agus craic, which means music and laughter.听听 I remember years ago going to Ireland for the wedding of a nephew of mine who married a lovely Irish girl.聽 The evening before the wedding a group of us went to a local pub, which had the odd name of Dirty Nellie 鈥� I don鈥檛 know why.聽 Anyway, I recall playing the piano, which was out of tune as there had been much drink spilt on it over the years.聽 But there was great music and singing and much laughter, as so happens on feast days and family occasions and rightly so.聽

The other phrase I want to mention is even more important.聽 It is C茅ad m铆le f谩ilte, which means a hundred thousand welcomes.聽 When you greet someone who comes to your house 鈥� or your company 鈥� the neighbour, the new-comer, the visitor 鈥� greet him or her warmly 鈥� more, say that you are very, very welcome and show it in your face and in your attitude, especially when you meet a stranger, an unexpected visitor and, dare I say it, the refugee.聽 When they come to where you are, make sure they are not only accepted but truly wanted 鈥� truly welcome.聽 Jesus said once, I was a stranger and you took me in.听听

As I said, may you have music and laughter and craic with your friends today but, above all, I ask you to have an open door to welcome people even if it is difficult sometimes.聽 You don鈥檛 have to say C茅ad m铆le f谩ilte 鈥� a hundred thousand welcomes, but I do hope you will show them that you are really very, very glad to see them and that they are truly welcome. May you have a happy St Patrick鈥檚 Day.
