I've been asked a few times if my poem about the enduring legacy of the 1879 Apparition at Knock can be made available in the Blue & Gold colours that I've been using on my Instagram, so I've added those files to the PDF download option.
You'll now receive 6 files (3 White & Blue, 3 Blue & Gold) in A5, A4, and US Letter (8.5x11") sizes, which you can print at home, or take to a local printer kiosk.
At Knock Shrine we hear their prayer,
which echoes through the Irish air.
A sacred place, a holy ground,
where pilgrims gather from all around.
In 1879, there was a heavenly sight,
where the blessed Virgin Mary,
St Joseph by her side,
with St John the Evangelist,
and The Lamb of God,
appeared with Heavenly Angels,
on the gable wall that night.
A symbol of hope, bright light in the dark,
at Knock Shrine, a place of grace,
you’ll find your peaceful space.
So come to kneel and pray,
and let your troubles slip away,
your soul will be blessed,
and your worries put to rest.
