A Little Bit of Religion
"It is eleven years since I began a weekly column in the Sunday World. That's 550 articles ago. Most articles served their purpose reasonably well: they sparked off a thought in readers' minds and they agreed or disagreed. Like everything else in a newspaper, the articles became, by Monday, fodder for the wastepaper basket, or maybe something useful like wrapping.for fish and chips.

The articles were never meant to last, and yet a large percentage of the post each week asks me to repeat some article which someone found useful. That's been the basis of the articles in this book. Here are just some of those repeatedly asked for.

I know I'm not a skilled writer. But there are some honest thoughts expressed in the simplest and clearest way I know how. If you get a glimpse of a caring, loving, merciful, forgiving God, then it will have been worthwhile. Nothing else matters much."

Another Little Bit of Religion

In this collection of his Sunday World articles Fr. Brian D'Arcy speaks to all whose hearts have been bruised by modern life

-to women who have had abortions
-to disabled victims of drunken drivers
-to couples "living in sin"
-to parents who have lost a child
-to AIDS victims
-to rape victims
-to the depressed, the lonely, the sorrowing

"Know that your life makes a difference. Know that what you do might appear to be insignificant, but in God's eyes nothing is unimportant. God not only forgives us everything, but sees successes where we don't see them ourselves."

Brian D'Arcy's words of wisdom, compassion and good humour are a source of comfort and inspiration to all who are in distress.

A Little Bit of Love

Father Brian D'Arcy

"I have this image of heaven that we'll find nothing new there. We'll wake from the long hours of sleep and nightmares and dreams and find that the arms which hold us will be the arms which have always held us."
