HERE WHEN YOU NEED US:

Call is a Lo-call, confidential phone line you can call when you’re feeling down. You might be worried about something - family, money, work, relationships, exams, your health - or maybe you’re just feeling fed up and can’t put your finger on why. You may be lonely.

Sharing your feelings with your friends or talking with your family can be difficult sometimes - pretending everything is okay seems by far the easiest way to deal with things. Maybe you’re afraid to tell those close to you what’s really on your mind - you don’t want them or maybe you just don’t know how to explain the way you’re feeling.

That’s when you might want to talk to someone at CALL. They’re available to listen to you when you’re feeling low, stressed or worried. They can also suggest services in County Wexford that may help you with more specific problems.

The CALL service is completely private & confidential. You don’t even have to give your name. CALL is there to listen to your every evening between 7pm & 10.30pm. So the next time you feel down, it might help to talk to CALL on 1890 22 55 55. Sometimes You Just Need Someone

The Deep End - The Language of Love

I’m not one to criticise God, but I’ve always thought that he got it wrong with the Tower of Babel. When it comes to languages I’m a hard-core pragmatist. Give me one. Any one. For all people. I abhor having to babble incomprehensibly on a trip when trying to communicate in another tongue.

Gesticulating with gusto and giggles is no substitute for conversation. Mutually intelligible words are vital for long-term healthy relationships. In his book, Sing a new song, Timothy Radcliffe OP claims: ‘Part of our deep social crisis is that we have lost confidence that words really show things as they are’.

Part of the deep spiritual crisis of the disciples, sheltering behind locked doors ‘for fear of the Jews’ (John 20:19), is that the words they have been hearing don’t show things as they are. Feeding on reports, rumours and gossip about a society hostile to them doesn’t really show things as they are. Just as today, feeding from a constant stream of bad news in the media gives a distorted image of society, so too with the disciples at that time. The all-important God-factor has not been pencilled in.

Then it comes. Eyes are opened, tongues are closed, and words gush forth. Words, whose meaning is clear to all, because they flow from the one language known by all: the language of love.
