Good afternoon. I'd another trip to Dundee over last wknd. 🧡🖤 Saw Utd lose but spent quality time with dad. #Epiphany was a lovely Mass & the drive home to Iona across Mull is special. Last pic: from Iona looking at rain over Mull. Winter's as busy as main tourist season! #isleofiona #mull #roadtrip

A very Happy New Year! May 2025 bless you with graces, joy, peace & contentment. The sun has returned to Iona ❤️🙏✝️ #isleofiona #newyear #newbeginnings #positivity #intentions #happyplace #islandlife

Happy Christmas! Pictures from this morning's liturgy in the oratory at the House of Prayer, Iona.

Rainy & windy these past few days....no let up either. We take in the beauty with gratitude; but calmer days bring opportunities for people's travel & to receive supplies #advent #gratitude #ponderings #isleofiona #HouseOfPrayerIona #weather #scottishisles #islandliving

Was good to get to Tannadice again last Saturday before I headed back to Iona. Had a smooth drive home Sunday with fab views across #Mull. Got earlier ferry so got back to #Iona without being stranded...result. Busy week at work now, providing hospitality for last guest of the season 👌🏻🙏 #winter

'Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat.

Lovely thread...about...goats ☺️🐐

Good morning. 'Lord, how great you are! You separated the waters & drew forth the dry land: protect all coast dwellers from the rampages of the sea. You filled the oceans with teeming life: sustain those who make their living from the sea' #morningprayer #mull #calmacferryview

Blowin' a hoolie on Iona. Hunkering down & staying cosy. Storm Bert is making the house rattle. Although Iona is relatively flat, Cnoc A Chalmain' (Hill of the Dove) is slightly elevated, so relentless winds batter us! #isleofiona #windy #roomwithaview #innerhebrides #scottishweather #StormBert 🌬🌪

Bracing ourselves for the effects of Storm Bert to make their presence in next few hours...have moved some loose items from garden into shed. Pictures from this afternoon. #winter #islandlife #darkskies #stormbert #bracebrace #hunkeringdown #isleofiona

🎼 On St Cecilia's feast day, I recognise the joy that music brings as a bridge to God! Music has sustained my faith; may it continue to touch hearts, far & wide! Deo Gratias ❤️🙏 open.spotify.com/track/0FFd6M... 🎵 'Create In Me' by Bob Hurd

'You are God’s chosen race, his saints; he loves you, and you should be clothed in sincere compassion, in kindness and humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; forgive each other as soon as a quarrel begins. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same' [Colossians] #prayer

Another shower sweeps through....a wee rainbow emerging; & lovely views of snow atop Ben More on Mull #isleofmull #mullandiona #isleofiona #innerhebrides #wintryshowers ❄️❄️

Wintry weather continues on Iona...showers of hailstones keep sweeping through...love watching dark skies roll overhead #isleofiona #hebrides #HouseOfPrayerIona #peaceful #restful #relax

Incoming hailstorm ❄️ #isleofiona #chilly #windy

Good morning - here's an instrumental piece of music - based on 'Mistakes' by Boyce & Stanley. Cold but pleasant day on 'The Rock' aka Iona. Have a lovely day ☺️ #nowplaying #music #reflect open.spotify.com/track/7eYrGQ...

'It is you whom I invoke, O Lord. In the morning you hear me; in the morning I offer you my prayer, watching and waiting' (Psalm 5) #morningprayer

Quoting Cardinal Martini’s warning to “avoid considering the Church as separate from the poor as if the Church existed as an independent reality that must then care for the poor,” Pope pleads with Church and Governments saying “please, let us not forget the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Lovely views from Cnoc A Chalmain. I don't think you would tire of this scenery! #soundofiona #mullandiona #houseofprayeriona #Iona

St Margaret of Scotland, pray for us! #feastday #faith #StMargaret ✝️

Feels like a gathering of lovely people under blue skies so here’s a quote from Teresa of Jesus which I hope will characterise this space - ‘All must be friends, all must be loved, all must be held dear, all must be helped. (WP4:7)
