Tony O'Riordan SJ talks inspiring words on RTE Radio 1

On Thursday Jesuit priest Tony O'Riordan was on RTE 1's Sean O'Rourke programme.

He spoke about his work with the Jesuit Refugee Centre in South Sudan.

He is part of a team educating 500 teachers.

In the camps, which are under the control of the UNHCR, there are 60,000 school-aged children.

It's well worth listening to O'Riordan talk. It was aired at approximately 11.35 on Thursday.

It was interesting that he never mentioned words such as evangelisation, apostolate, church, God, secularism. Never once condemned anyone or anything and yet it was one of the finest pieces of Christianity to be heard all week.
