A Vanishing World
The Irish Country House Photographs of Father Browne
Edited by Robert O’Byrne

Paperback 104pp
305 x 240 mm
€25.00
£23.00
Fr Francis Browne SJ is renowned for his images of the Titanic on her doomed maiden voyage and of everyday life in mid-twentieth century Ireland. Less well-known until now are the pictures that he took of Irish country houses over a decade from 1946 onward.
The owners of over 50 of these mainly private properties gave Fr Browne unique access to their homes, and he recorded the buildings and their interiors, filled with treasures accumulated over generations.
In most cases, his pictures show us interiors that no longer exist or have been radically altered. Some of the buildings he visited have been entirely demolished, and others sold, giving a particular poignancy to his images.
Architectural historian Robert O’Byrne has selected 20 houses, ranging from Shelton
Abbey, County Wicklow, now an open prison, to Dunsany Castle, County Meath, occupied since the early 15th century by the Plunkett family. These beautiful photographs offer an insight into what was by then a fast-vanishing world. This is a priceless record of the Irish country house at a critical moment in its history.
Robert O’Byrne is a writer and lecturer specialising in the fine and decorative arts in Ireland, and the author of more than a dozen books. A former Vice-President of the Irish Georgian Society, he is currently a trustee of the Apollo Foundation and the Artists Collecting Society. His previous title with Messenger Publications is Wandering Wicklow with Father Browne (2020)

Pope Francis has said that we are not only in an era of change, but also in a change of era. The Church in Ireland is facing fundamental and immediate change and we need to face into this reality and discern God’s will by engaging with and listening to each other. This aligns with the Pope’s call for a synodal Church, where we find ourselves as companions on a journey together using the synodal method of ‘Conversation in the Spirit’.
Dreaming a new Dream offers a series of succinctly written ‘conversations’, addressing relevant issues facing the Church in Ireland. Each of its 15 conversations is designed to inform and challenge the reader. Three questions come at the end of each conversation which can be used either individually or in groups to further the discussion and deepen the insights.
Drawing on the author’s personal experience of working in pastoral ministry in dioceses, parishes and communities all over Ireland during the last 15
Jim Deeds is a poet, author and retreat giver and works in pastoral ministry across Ireland and beyond. This is his first title with Messenger Publications, although he has co-authored a number of books with Brendan McManus SJ including the award-winning Finding God in the Mess trilogy of books as well as Discover God Daily: Seven Life-Changing Moments from the Journey of St Ignatius.

You can read the Bible. You can study the Bible. You can also pray with the Bible. Bestselling author Nikolaas Sintobin SJ is your guide to making your bible a new way of praying.

Following on from the fifty tips, is a sequence of fifty bible texts. With each text you get a short commentary and three suggestions for praying with the passage. Together they form a retreat called Following Him. This retreat introduces you, at your own pace, to praying with the Bible, with a special focus on Jesus.
A Flemish Jesuit priest, Nikolaas Sintobin has been a teacher and a chaplain in the Jesuit high schools of Paris and Antwerp, and has specialised in Ignatian spirituality and pedagogy.

Our bestselling annual and a familiar companion guide that readers welcome each Autumn.
Every day is rich with possibilities. Yet modern life is busy and can be stressful. It can be challenging to incorporate a prayerful rhythm into our day, to help us find guidance and insight in everyday life.
Sacred Space, as a book and a webite is a kind of ‘anam cara’ or soul friend. It journeys with us and helps us to slow down, pay attention and find the greatest anam cara of all – God.
Through Sacred Space, the Irish Jesuits have brought the daily practice of prayer in the Ignatian tradition to people all over the world, across
twenty different languages. Here, in Sacred Space: The Prayerbook, all the tools of Sacred Space are gathered in one place.
Each day of The Prayerbook includes a Scripture reading with points for reflection, as well as a weekly topic enhanced by six steps of prayer.
The prayers and reflections in Sacred Space: The Prayerbook 2025 are written by members of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits.
The People’s Celebration of the Eucharist
Fintan Lyons OSB
9781788126892
Paperback
96pp
210 x 140mm
€12.95
£11.95
The Eucharist is more than just a rite performed by a presiding priest in the presence of a congregation, though for many centuries it was seen by many to be just that. The truth however is that its celebration, when viewed as an activity of the People of God, the Body of Christ, means that there is a fundamental unity incorporating both ordained and non-ordained. From a deeper perspective, the task becomes one of exploring what the togetherness of priest and people implies, and finding a language to express it. In other words, what are we to understand by ‘the people’s participation’ and ‘the people’s celebration’? What is it that we mean by ‘people’? What does it mean when the presider speaks of preparing to celebrate ‘the sacred mysteries’?
This book is about the changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council, why they were made, and their implications, but also about the limitations of their effectiveness that emerge when the role of the faithful is considered in depth.
A native of Westport, Co Mayo, Fintan Lyons spent 23 years as a diocesan priest prior to joining the Benedictine order at Glenstal Abbey in 1986. He has taught in the Pontifical Liturgical Institute, Rome, in Beeson Divinity School (Baptist), Birmingham, Alabama, USA and Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. He has been a member of the International Pentecostal - Roman Catholic Dialogue for eight years.

The authors have worked for some years as Camino Companions, a ministry for welcoming pilgrims in Santiago. They noticed that as well as providing a space for pilgrims to tell their unique Camino stories while in Santiago, pilgrims wanted help to reflect on the importance and relevance for their lives back home (the real Camino!). This book is a suggestion as to what pilgrims might do on returning home in terms of keeping that Camino spirit alive. Although written from the Christian perspective of its authors, it can be used by pilgrims of all faiths and none.
We are all pilgrims in the world and our challenge is to live life as a journey, keeping our hearts open. Back at home we easily forget this and can drift along on autopilot. However, God (or Mystery, or Spirit) is always with us, and can be seen especially when looking back on our experience. Hence the importance of reflection and taking time out to get perspective.
Brendan McManus SJ is a Jesuit priest and currently works as a Spiritual Director and retreat giver. He has published a number of books, some on the Camino and others on Ignatian spirituality. With Jim Deeds, he co-authored the awardwinning Finding God in the Mess trilogy.
Katherine O’Flynn FCJ is a psychotherapist and works as a volunteer with Camino Companions, an organisation set up by the FCJ to welcome pilgrims to Santiago, offering them an opportunity to reflect on the experience and the meaning of their pilgrimage.

Tríona Doherty & Jane Mellett
Foreword by Séamus O’Connell
Mark’s is a gospel that emphasises the journey of discipleship - a gradual unfolding of awareness and understanding, as exemplified in the two great healings of blindness; everything that Jesus says and does is aimed at correcting partial sight and encouraging or restoring full sight.
