Une prière pour Paris – A prayer for Paris

Paris Eiffel Tower, Black and White

I just wanted to say, that like so many, I cannot believe the tragedy and horror that took place last night. Watching the news life for hours last night, and I cannot even imagine how the people of Paris are feeling. All my best friends still in Paris are safe and sound, but as with many this will not be the case – they are in my prayers and thoughts.

Paris est dans mes pensées et mes prières, et j’espere tout mes amis en Paris sont hors de danger et comme avec la attaque Charlie Hebdo, la nation la nation sera unitéd au cours de cette période terrible 🇫🇷

I hope that Paris, France and the whole of Europe will stand united and show that the attackers will not destroy our hope in peace and solitary.

    We join you in prayers, Roisin. We’re also glad to hear that you hadn’t sneaked over there for the weekend and are safe.  I was just going to phone your Mum. Our love Ted and Moya
