Station 2.jpg

Hear our prayers for all who have been forced to carry too much. 
Exiles and refugees.

Single mothers.

Abandoned children.

Those whose hearts have been broken.

Those who’ve been told they’re worthless, had shame heaped on them because of their skin color or identity or status or appearance or just because.

 

Hear our cries.

The Many - Lovely, Needy People

NOT YET

By Pádraig Ó Tuama

 

‘You’re too young
to know about The Troubles,’
the peaceman said.
And the youngman said:

b r o t h e r f e l l i n t o h i m s e l f

Not yet.
No—one’s too young
to know about The Troubles.
