Why do we find the courage to begin again?

After disappointment, failure, and difficulty, something within us still hopes that tomorrow might be different. We turn the page, plant another seed, and try once more. Perhaps that impulse is more than optimism. Perhaps it is faith.

In this episode of An Dea-Scéal, we reflect on John Burnside’s words, “Everything begins before we see it beginning,” and the words of St Paul: “He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

From a seed hidden beneath the earth, to Christ’s Resurrection, to the remarkable story of St Patrick, we explore the mystery of how God can begin something in us before we can see it—and give us the grace to begin again.

An Dea-Scéal is a journey through the Gospel, the saints, and the enduring Christian faith that has shaped Ireland.
