In an interview with Alan O’Keeffe in the 'Sunday Independent' yesterday Archbishop Dermot Farrell quoted philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein who said to his Irish friend Maurice Drury:
"Only if you try to be helpful to other people will you in the end find your way to God.”
The Archbishop went on to say that we need to examine the quality of both our liturgies and preaching of the word of God.
He said that music in the liturgy is not just to entertain us - great music will always take us to the silence of the mystery from which it comes.
Archbishop Farrell said that he is about to publish a pastoral letter on climate change in the coming days.
He admitted that the housing and climate crises must be addressed with urgency nationally and globally.
