1 minute of prayerful meditation at the shore of Lough Derg with me? Call to mind,

1 thing you're concerned about - hand it over to God
2 things that made you smile recently - experience joy
3 things that you are grateful for - give thanks to God

Prayer can be as easy as 1-2-3

What a wonderful few days taking part in Synodal Leadership Training in Lough Derg. CatholicBishops K&L Diocese Ireland Julie Kavanagh Bishop Denis Nulty CatholicNewsIreland Diocese of Clogher Irish Synodal Pathway Gary Carville

Listening is a core skill of leadership-the ability to accurately receive and interpret what's being communicated. There's lot of attentive listening happening on our programme this morning.

Early morning is a cacophony of sounds - a dawn chorus of birds, of water lapping and a gentle breeze here on Lough Derg as we take part in Irish Synodal Pathway Leadership Training, what a wonderful place to visit, to pray and to be with good people K&L Diocese Ireland CatholicNewsIreland

If you were to make a list of 10 qualities, strengths or attributes you have that you value most in yourself, what might they be? One of our sessions includes discerning these & using them for serving God. I think Jim Deeds & Anthony should include their musical giftedness

We're underway here on Lough Derg with our sixth round of leadership training with Jim Deeds, Paula McKeown, JulieM, & Prof Michael Conway of St Patrick's Pontifical University
How wonderful to be at this sacred sanctuary as we learn together 🙏
