Photo was taken of Ardnakinna Lighthouse, on Bere Island, West Cork (Irl)



This photo captures the beauty of Bere Island and particularly a curious sheep who had no problem with me coming up close for a picture! The island nestles snugly under Sliabh Miskish and the Caha Mountains of the Beara Peninsula, beautifully hugging the northern shore of the magnificent Bantry Bay. It is a charming island with an air of peace and tranquility which is unsurpassed in this part of the world.

A Prayer from the book ‘Praying Each Day Of The Year’

Lord our God, open us to your Spirit living within us, that we may live fully each day of our lives, particularly during this month of June. Touch us that we may become more aware of all that is around us, growing in a sense of wonder and awe. Help us to appreciate all that we see, hear, touch, taste and smell. May we live in such a way, that we never take anything for granted. May we always be appreciative and express our thanks to those who are part of our lives. Amen
