Sunday Duty Rota for Priests in Clones Parish

Life is for Living

Life is a gift we’re given each and every day.
Dream about tomorrow, but live for today.
To live a little, you’ve got to love a whole lot.
Love turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Life’s a journey
Always worth taking.
Take time to smell the roses...the tulips…
And daffodils...and lilacs...and sunflowers…

Count blessings like children count stars.
The secret of a happy life isn’t buried in a treasure chest…
It lies within the heart.
It’s the little moments that make life big.

Don’t wait. Make memories today
Celebrate your life!
