Young prophets are those swimming against the tide

Dear Editor, Fr Peter McVerry states that young people who are uninterested in the Church or a “God of the law” are the prophets of today (IC 23/07/2015).

As an oldie I welcome the “young prophets of today”. The young people who swim against the tide, who love Jesus, practise their faith, are pro-life etc. Those who are compassionate and understanding of those who don’t share their views.

The Lord Jesus loves us sinners and welcomes us back with love and compassion when we recognise our faults and seek forgiveness.

Yours etc.,

Aiden Murphy,
