November is all about remembering those who have gone before us and this month’s Messenger has several articles around this theme, particularly as the Pope asks us to pray for the prevention of suicide and to support those affected by this tragedy. We have tributes to Dublin’s patron saint, Laurence O’Toole, to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor executed for his opposition to Hitler’s regime eighty years ago, and to Daniel O’Connell on the 250^th anniversary of his birth. And we explore the many connections between Ireland and India, reminding us that, for Christians, there is no stranger, everyone is a neighbour.
