Heavenly Father, I adore and praise You! Thank you for all Your blessings
Now I ask You again for another favor, For You alone are the giver of all good gifts.
I beg You to grant me a complete and total healing of my spirit and soul, of my heart and will,
Of my emotions, memory and imagination
of my nerves, bones, and body. My entire being from the tip of my head to the soles of my feet
So I can be the person You want me to be and live the life You planned for me.
I pray that this healing will bring You honor and sanctify me and others.
Amen.

Count your blessings
Count your bless
ings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Love your neighbour as much as yourself.

St Martin’s Well:
Each year a Prayer Service takes place at St Martin’s Well, Ballynacally to mark the occassion of the wonderful tradition of pilgrims visiting the Holy Well. On St. Martin’s Day 11th November, every year, it is an inspiring sight to see the constant stream of pilgrims 
make their way to the shrine, some old, many in the full flush of youth, but all with a deep faith in the ability of the Saint to cure their ills.
They kneel on the concrete surface of the sanctuary, pray and light candles. Only the murmur of the waters and an occasional gust of wind through the trees disturbs the silence.
Before leaving, they bathe their eyes with water from the holy well. It is widely believed that blindness, rheumatism and many minor ailments can be cured here. Some images HERE

Radharc na nOilean
Due to a shortage of priests the decision was taken to cluster parishes. Our parish will 
cluster with Coolmeen, Cranny, Kildysart and more recently Kilmurry McMahon-Labasheeda is given the name Radharc na N'Oilean due to our proximity to the islands in the Shannon estuary. Masses for the Radharc na nOilean Cluster have changed to cope with this shortage of priests in the area.
The cluster will have fewer masses as a result. These new changes in Mass times came into effect beginning on the weekend of 5th/6th April 2014.
