As a Capuchin priest working in Dublin’s inner-city Fr Brian Shortall has seen both the good and the bad side of humanity. Always one to remain hopeful and spread the good news, in this collection of homilies, blogs, talks and stories he draws on his own experience in parish ministry to bring a positive message to the reader. Following on from the great success of his first book Tired of All the Bad News. Fr Bryan gives us a superb insight into the lessons he has learned from his parishioners as he chronicles the highlights of parish life, including a visit from Pope Francis to the Capuchin Day Centre for the homeless last year. In this little book, you will find hope, inspiration and an insight into the simple Capuchin Franciscan way of life so famously represented by St Padre Pio.
