Faith and fortitude at funeral Mass of Karen Buckley

Miriam Lord in today's Irish Times quotes from the words spoken by Fr Jospeh O'keeffe at the funeral Mass of Karen Buckley in Analeentha, Mourneabbey, Co Cork.

"It was a beautiful homily". She went on to quote his words: "Karen's death seems totally inappropriate. It violates our sense of order....

"Within the scope of human reason, a tragedy such as this simply doesn't make sense. Therefore we either despair or find strength in faith."

Lord goes on to say that "Faith was strong in that church yesterday. Faith and fortitude."

Karen Buckley was murdered in Glasgow.
