Faithcast is the weekly faith podcast from www.catholicnews.ie, the news source for the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference.

Presented by Brenda Drumm, Faithcast is a mixture of interviews, news and stories of faith from the Catholic Church in Ireland.

In episode 39 of Faithcast, Brenda speaks to Ms Anne Coleman, Specialist in Marriage Education with Accord Catholic Marriage Care Service CLG.

The faith news this week features Bishop Donal McKeown’s welcome for Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation ‘Christus vivit’ – his letter to the world’s young people that represents the fruits of last October’s Synod; Trócaire’s humanitarian work responding to Cyclone Idai; Pope Francis to celebrate Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Support with prisoners in a correctional facility outside of Rome; and, the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network releases the April Prayer intentions video focusing on the presence of doctors and health-care workers in war-torn areas.

Easter Message of Archbishop Eamon Martin:

“I have been praying for the loved ones and colleagues of the talented young journalist, Lyra McKee, whose life was so cruelly and pointlessly ended by violence in my home city of Derry. May Lyra rest in peace …. We are called to be reconcilers and peacemakers, willing to help heal the wounds of the past in our families, society and Church” – Archbishop Eamon Martin
