    Right out of the blue last night I felt the presence of Our Lady in the campsite last night, it had been windy, raining very heavily and was very dark. Both Mary came light and warmth, it was like being in a little Medugorje.

    I wonder if you have experienced this in your own spiritual life, that our God is a God of surprises?

    The young priest at mass this morning was so devout, then at the Consecration he held the host aloft a good thee minutes. I was so impressed.

    I wonder if it is just me or is anyone else hugely impressed by the quality of our young priests nowadays.

    Plus the Church ⛪ was packed for daily mass and they went straight into all day Eucharistic Adoration. Wow!!

    I wish this was my local oarish, wonderful

    It is so awesome, to see celebrants 'preaching by example" and showing adoration. Much more powerful than words.

    God Bless

    I know that priest from Limavady parish I think, Padraig.

    I was at Mass once there and he held the host up a long, long time. Do you sense he has a mystical experience whilst doing this as this was certainly my impression!!

    Unfortunately, his actions at the consecration are not appreciated by all of the parishioners & some complain that he holds the host up way too long & is much too devout. But that in itself is a sign of the times.

    Yes, exactly my impression was that this young guy was in a constant state of very high prayer indeed. He reminded me of Fr Zlavco. I think he may very well be a young saint. I may be wrong but my impression was that many amongst the congregation were clued in.

    I admit I was a little jealous but then I caught myself on and prayed that God would make the whole world so holt

    what are the chances of encountering a saint while on holday out in the sticks in the middle if nowhere? I can see now why I experienced Our Lady so strongly last night, it must be linked.

    Giw wonderful I am delighted

    I only take complaints from the parish as a positive, I wouldn't be surprised if the devil tried to burn his Church ⛪ down round him. I was going to go home tomorrow I must pray and see if she wants me to stay a while.

    Anyway it was a delight, a big surprise but a joy.

    I wonder how long before the media pick up on him?
