Thank you, Martin


Our friend Martin McGuinness  has gone from us, mission accomplished.

 We bless him as he goes. He brought to our political life qualities we needed so much, patience, courtesy and friendship.

While other leaders in the world were practising their craft of turning peace into war he was perfecting the art of turning war into peace. 

We are grateful to him and to his colleagues for that.

He did not discover the way to peace in the midst of war, he had the vision of peace all his life. His sadness was that often the vision was hidden by obstacles to peace set up by those who should have been friends.

If we have sadness now it is because he did not stay with us long enough to see the best result of his genius.

Go raibh sé i  suaimhneas  sioraí Dé go deo.

We thank his Family , Colleagues and Neighbours  too, for they so faithfully loved and supported him.
