The place we want to buy has already been an oasis of prayer, as it was a retreat centre belonging to a Catholic religious community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">Our appeal is all the more urgent and necessary as we are trying to buy the property as soon as possible. As nothing is impossible with God, and as God works through people, please, could you become collaborators in this undertaking, be co-workers with God and with us founding the monastery to the glory of God and to the honour of the Mother of God and the Celtic saints of Ireland, who, let us not forget, did a great deal for Europe in the first ten centuries. We think it is about time we remembered them and knotted our loving relationship with them, as, isn\u2019t that so, \u2018God is wondrous in His saints\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">Even if you cannot immediately help, please join us in prayer, this is a very precious help that can work wonders and without which we cannot achieve anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">We are hoping that this cry for help might touch your hearts and meet God there, and may the Lord be the One that \u2018will fight\u2019 for us all, whose work we\u2019ve seen and we feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">We accept with deep gratitude any contribution that comes from a compassionate and sincere heart, willing to render glory to God.
