Leaving everything and following Jesus … just for a moment think of three things you couldn’t do without.
Perhaps I might add the soaps on television … Fair City and its anything but fair, having watched an episode last week!
There is no doubting the fact that Pope Francis has indeed raised the share price on Francis of Assisi and Clare!
There is no fear of Francis of Assisi or Clare being dropped from Division 1 for the foreseeable future, certainly under this Pope!
On the eve of the day when Leaving Cert results will be announced, you couldn’t blame her family for being slow to understand this CAO option for the average eighteen year old then or now!
The Poor Clares do it in imitation of St. Clare – we’re invited to do it every time we look on Him in adoration or receive Him in communion.
In our brokeness He makes us complete; in our tiredness He offers us rest and in our emptiness He gives us food that outlives all hunger.
A few days back I called into another Cistercian Monastery a few miles from my home in County Meath – the Monks in Collon, the monks of New Mellifont.
The same commitment is there that allowed the Tibhirine monks to wait behind with their afflicted people, the same commitment that allows the Poor Clare presence to continue in these parts and the same commitment we are invited to make every day we respond like St. Clare did to the Lord’s invitation to follow Him.

Danny Duffy came out aggressively in the bottom of the first against the Twins on Friday night, and looked dominant. The Twins clearly were trying to jump on early fastballs from Duffy – Danny Santana and Brian Dozier both swung at the first fastball they saw, and after taking a fastball for a strike, Joe Mauer attacked the next two, eventually flying out to Alex Gordon in left.
The ambush didn’t work; even though they got the fastballs they were looking for, the Twins hitters let Duffy get out of the first inning after only six pitches.
Duffy continued to throw nothing but fastballs through much of the second inning and didn’t have to go to his breaking stuff until he got into a 1-1 count with Oswaldo Arcia. A 1-1 count is an important one: it’s a turning point in an at-bat that gives an advantage to either the batter or the pitcher, and with Kurt Suzuki on second base, Duffy didn’t want to give Arcia anything to hit. Arcia took the curve for a ball, but then swung and missed at the next two fastballs to end the inning.
In the bottom of the third, Eduardo Escobar led off with an excellent eight-pitch at-bat, finally hitting a 2-2 changeup back up the middle for a leadoff single. Jordan Schafer came to the plate next and worked another 1-1 count. Duffy threw another curve to Schafer, but it appeared Schafer was sitting on the 1-1 curve: he waited on it and took it the other way for a single down the third-base line.
After Santana’s sac bunt, a Danny Duffy throwing error and Dozier’s groundout put the Twins up 2-0, Joe Mauer came to bat and again worked a 1-1 count. Duffy again threw a curve to Mauer, who loaded up and took a vicious hack, but this curve stayed down and Mauer missed it. Even so the Mauer and Schafer’s at-bats seemed to indicate that the Twins had keyed in on the pattern of 1-1 curveballs that Sal Perez and Duffy were throwing.
In the top of the second, Josh Willingham came to bat with Billy Butler on second and Alex Gordon on first. It was the Royals’ first at-bat of the game with a runner in scoring position. Willingham took a first-pitch slider from Twins’ starter Ricky Nolasco for ball one, then got a slider that stayed right over the heart of the plate. It’s the type of pitch that a power hitter like Willingham feasts on, but he took it to go 1-1, and he eventually struck out on a 1-2 slider that had a much nastier break. It was a frustrating at-bat that led to the Royals stranding their first two base-runners.
In the top of the fourth, after Nolasco loaded the bases by hitting Gordon on the foot, Willingham came to the plate. Nolasco started him off with another slider, and again left it up, right over the plate. Willingham jumped on it and ripped a double down the left-field line. That cleared the bases and gave the lead back to the Royals. Though he said after the game that he wasn’t specifically sitting on the slider, he knew Nolasco would try to get strike one in on him, and he looked to be aggressive early. It was a good adjustment from a veteran hitter, and by making it, Willingham was able to blow open the Royals’ fourth-inning rally and give his team the lead.
In the bottom of the third, after the singles from Eduardo Escobar and Schafer, Santana came to the plate and laid down a bunt that died right between the mound and home plate. Duffy sprinted forward and fielded it, but Santana’s speed made Duffy rush the throw over to Butler at first, and it sailed over Butler’s head and into the first-base side foul territory. Fortunately for the Royals, Nori Aoki was doing his job out in right field by backing up the throw to Butler, just in case this exact thing happened. Aoki fielded the wild throw as Escobar scored, and tried to throw out Santana at second base. But Aoki’s throw sailed over Alcides Escobar’s head out into left field. Again, fortunately for KC, Alex Gordon was doing his job, rushing in to back up Aoki’s throw. Gordon fielded the wild throw in shallow left, which kept Schafer at third and Santana at second.
In the top of the third, Jarrod Dyson hit a one-out triple to the right-center gap. Aoki came to bat next, looking to get something up to score Dyson. Aoki worked to a 3-0 count, then took a fastball on the outside corner for strike one. It was a good take – not a pitch that he could drive, and close to being ball four. But Nolasco placed the next fastball a little bit closer to the outside edge, and Aoki again took it for strike two. Aoki appeared to disagree with the call, but it was too close to take after the previous pitch. Aoki then got a slider in on his hands and struck out on a check-swing.
In the seventh inning, Dyson again got to third base with one out, on a wild pitch to Infante. Infante struck out on the next pitch, and Sal struck out looking in the next at-bat.
