A simple prayer for Sharon’s safe return

AT the start of every day in the close-knit community of Clontarf, families come together to offer prayers for the safe release of kidnapped aid worker, Sharon Commins.

For a month now the aid worker, along with her colleague from the Irish aid agency GOAL, has been held captive by an armed gang after being taken captive in Sudan.

While diplomatic efforts continue around the clock for their safe release, each day in north Dublin a simple prayer is also offered up for her safe return during Mass at her local church, St Gabriel’s.
