In many schools 6th Year Graduation Masses/Prayer services are taking place this week. The following reflection was read yesterday in Col√°iste Choilm Ballincollig, by Brigid McAuliffe whose son Donnchadh was graduating
On behalf of the parents I offer you the light of love. This is a light we lit for you a long time ago. It is the light you depended on in those early days, the light you ran to when things went wrong, the light that was left on for you because you were too afraid of the dark. This is the light that waited up for you when you were late home and the light that was always there even though, just sometimes, you wished it wasn’t! Carry this light of love into the world where real love is rare and precious. Use it to light the path in your search of love and to be loved. And when you find that the light is flickering, blown by the storms of pain and rejection, remember that there will always be a light burning for you in that place called home.
