Suffering - Colm Doyle - 13th Sep 2026 by The King's Way Christian Fellowship - Glen Waverley

Send us Fan MailOn today's show we go to Hodges Figgis in Dublin's Dawson Street to talk to Elizabeth Wassell Montague about her new novel At the Villa Celeste which she launched at the bookshop recently. The novel is a haunting story of ‎longing, memory, and the fragile architecture of identity. When Clementine Dove begins to ‎fall apart  under the weight of familial love and unspoken trauma, she finds herself turning to France for a kind of salvation. In Paris and along the  Côte d'Azur, ‎past and present collide as two generations of women navigate desire, restraint and the hunger to ‎be truly seen. The launch was introduced by novelist and friend of Books for Breakfast Christine Dwyer Hickey so you'll hear introduction first, followed by our interview with Elizabeth. This episode is supported by a Project Award from the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Intro/outro music: Colm Mac Con Iomaire, 'Thou Shalt Not Carry' from The Hare's Corner, 2008, with thanks to Colm for permission to use it. Logo designed by Freya Sirr.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis is a special crossover episode between Your Path to CEO and Your Future in Sales and Marketing. Mike Dickson and Andrew Cannock sit down together with Colm Maguire, CEO of the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC).Colm's career has rarely gone in a straight line. He set out to join the Royal Australian Air Force, found his way into sports administration with Touch Football Australia, then spent years inside the highly regulated world of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, before taking the top job at the AFGC in 2024.Colm, Mike and Andrew talk through the deliberate risks behind each career move, including one that looked like a step backwards at the time, what it took to earn trust in a new industry during his first six months as CEO, and why he judges his own leadership by effort rather than outcome. Colm also shares his read on the opportunities and pressures facing FMCG manufacturing in Australia, and the workforce agenda now shaping the AFGC's next chapter.Worth a listen whether you're building a career in FMCG or in sales and marketing, and especially if you're weighing up whether your next move needs to look like a promotion to actually be the right one.

Colm Tóibín is widely acclaimed for the emotional restraint and quiet power of his prose. His writing explores exile, abandonment, loss and denial, the things that go unspoken and the feelings not acted upon. His novels include Nora Webster; Brooklyn, which was turned into a film starring Saoirse Ronan; and its sequel, Long Island, both telling the story of a young Irishwoman who emigrates to the United States in the years after the Second World War.  In June 2026 he comes to Intelligence Squared to discuss the themes of his new collection of short stories, The News From Dublin. In these poignant tales, a woman in Galway learns of her son's death in the First World War; an Irishman seeks anonymity in Barcelona; and an undocumented worker prepares to leave San Francisco after decades in America.  We were joined by Tóibín at Union Chapel in June 2026 where he discussed the themes of this new collection – exploring the ordinary lives of individuals navigating extraordinary moments in history – and refleted on the influences and experiences that have shaped his writing. ---If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

+ Evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo según san Lucas 1, 39-56 María partió y fue sin demora a un pueblo de la montaña de Judá. Entró en la casa de Zacarías y saludó a Isabel. Apenas esta oyó el saludo de María, el niño saltó de alegría en su seno, e Isabel, llena del Espíritu Santo, exclamó: «¡Tú eres bendita entre todas las mujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre! ¿Quién soy yo, para que la madre de mi Señor venga a visitarme? Apenas oí tu saludo, el niño saltó de alegría en mi seno. Feliz de ti por haber creído que se cumplirá lo que te fue anunciado de parte del Señor.» María dijo entonces: «Mi alma canta la grandeza del Señor, y mi espíritu se estremece de gozo en Dios, mi Salvador, porque el miró con bondad la pequeñez de su servidora. En adelante todas las generaciones me llamarán feliz, porque el Todopoderoso ha hecho en mí grandes cosas: ¡su Nombre es santo! Su misericordia se extiende de generación en generación sobre aquellos que lo temen. Desplegó la fuerza de su brazo, dispersó a los soberbios de corazón. Derribó a los poderosos de su trono y elevó a los humildes. Colmó de bienes a los hambrientos y despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías. Socorrió a Israel, su servidor, acordándose de su misericordia, como lo había prometido a nuestros padres, en favor de Abraham y de su descendencia para siempre.» María permaneció con Isabel unos tres meses y luego regresó a su casa.Palabra del Señor.

En adelante todas las generaciones me llamarán feliz".Porque el Todopoderoso ha hecho en mí grandes cosas: ¡su Nombre es santo!Su misericordia se extiende de generación en generación sobre aquellos que lo temen.Desplegó la fuerza de su brazo, dispersó a los soberbios de corazón.Derribó a los poderosos de su trono y elevó a los humildes.Colmó de bienes a los hambrientos y despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías.Socorrió a Israel, su servidor, acordándose de su misericordia,como lo había prometido a nuestros padres, en favor de Abraham y de su descendencia para siempre".María permaneció con Isabel unos tres meses y luego regresó a su casa.

Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María Lc 1,39-56 1,39 En aquellos días, María partió y fue sin demora a un pueblo de la montaña de Judá. 1,40 Entró en la casa de Zacarías y saludó a Isabel. 1,41 Apenas esta oyó el saludo de María, el niño saltó de alegría en su seno, e Isabel, llena del Espíritu Santo, 1,42 exclamó: «¡Tú eres bendita entre todas las mujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre! 1,43 ¿Quién soy yo, para que la madre de mi Señor venga a visitarme? 1,44 Apenas oí tu saludo, el niño saltó de alegría en mi seno. 1,45 Feliz de ti por haber creído que se cumplirá lo que te fue anunciado de parte del Señor». 1,46 María dijo entonces: «Mi alma canta la grandeza del Señor, 1,47 y mi espíritu se estremece de gozo en Dios, mi Salvador, 1,48 porque él miró con bondad la pequeñez de su servidora. En adelante todas las generaciones me llamarán feliz, 1,49 porque el Todopoderoso ha hecho en mí grandes cosas: ¡su Nombre es santo! 1,50 Su misericordia se extiende de generación en generación sobre aquellos que lo temen. 1,51 Desplegó la fuerza de su brazo, dispersó a los soberbios de corazón. 1,52 Derribó a los poderosos de su trono y elevó a los humildes. 1,53 Colmó de bienes a los hambrientosy despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías. 1,54 Socorrió a Israel, su servidor, acordándose de su misericordia, 1,55 como lo había prometido a nuestros padres, en favor de Abraham y de su descendencia para siempre». 1,56 María permaneció con Isabel unos tres meses y luego regresó a su casa. Evangelio según San Lucas 1, 39-56 En aquellos días, María se levantó y fué apresuradamente a la montaña, a una ciudad de Judá; y entró en la casa de Zacarías y saludó a Isabel. Y sucedió cuando Isabel oyó el saludo de María, que el niño dio saltos en su seno e Isabel quedó llena del Espíritu Santo. Y exclamó en alta voz y dijo: “¡Bendita tú entre las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu seno! ¿Y de dónde me viene, que la madre de mi Señor venga a mí? Pues, desde el mismo instante en que tu saludo sonó en mis oídos, el hijo saltó de gozo en mi seno. Y dichosa la que creyó, porque tendrá cumplimiento lo que se le dijo de parte del Señor”. Y María dijo: “Glorifica mi alma al Señor, y mi espíritu se goza en Dios mi Salvador, porque ha mirado la pequeñez de su esclava. Y he aquí que desde ahora me felicitarán todas las generaciones; porque en mí obró grandezas el Poderoso. Santo es su nombre, y su misericordia, para los que le temen va de generación en generación. Desplegó el poder de su brazo; dispersó a los que se engrieron en los pensamientos de su corazón. Bajó del trono a los poderosos, y levantó a los pequeños; llenó de bienes a los hambrientos, y a los ricos despidió vacíos. Acogió a Israel su siervo, recordando la misericordia, conforme lo dijera a nuestros padres en favor de Abrahán y su posteridad para siempre”. Y quedóse María con ella como tres meses, y después se volvió a su casa. *** Solemnidad de la Asunción de la Virgen María La solemnidad de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María fue fijada en el 15 de agosto ya en el siglo V, con el sentido de «Nacimiento al Cielo» o, en la tradición bizantina, «Dormición» de Nuestra Señora. El dogma definido por Pío XII «Después de elevar a Dios repetidas súplicas y de haber invocado la luz del Espíritu de Verdad, para la gloria de Dios Todopoderoso que otorgó a la Virgen María Su especial benevolencia en honor de Su Hijo, Rey Inmortal de los siglos y vencedor del pecado y de la muerte, para mayor gloria de su augusta madre y para alegría y regocijo de toda la Iglesia, con la autoridad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, de los santos apóstoles Pedro y Pablo y con la nuestra, pronunciamos, declaramos y definimos como dogma revelado por Dios que: la inmaculada Madre de Dios, la siempre virgen María, habiendo completado el curso de la vida terrena, fue asumida en cuerpo y alma a la gloria celestial» (Pío XII, Munificentissimus Deus, 1 de noviembre de 1950). Oración a María Asunta Oh María Inmaculada Asunta al cielo, tú que vives bienaventurada en la visión de Dios: de Dios Padre que te hizo alta criatura, de Dios Hijo que quiso ser generado como hombre por ti y tenerte como madre, de Dios Espíritu Santo que en ti realizó la concepción humana del Salvador. Oh María purísima, Oh María dulcísima y bellísima, Oh María, mujer fuerte y reflexiva. Oh María, pobre y dolorosa, María, virgen y madre, mujer humanísima como Eva, más que Eva; cercana a Dios en tu gracia, en tus privilegios, en tus misterios, en tu misión, en tu gloria. Oh María asunta a la gloria de Cristo en la perfección completa y transfigurada de nuestra naturaleza humana. Oh María, puerta del cielo, espejo de la Luz divina, santuario de la Alianza entre Dios y los hombres, deja que nuestras almas vuelen tras de ti deja que se eleven tras tu radiante camino transportadas por una esperanza que el mundo no tiene, la de la dicha eterna. Consuélanos desde el cielo, oh Madre misericordiosa, y por tus caminos de pureza y esperanza guíanos un día al encuentro feliz contigo y con tu divino Hijo nuestro Salvador Jesús. ¡Amén! (San Pablo VI)

Send us Fan MailMost poets write under their given names – Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Denise Riley, Elizabeth Bishop. Some on the other hand use pseudonyms; there is no such person as Biddy Jenkinson, except in her poems; Pablo Neruda was born Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto in order not to offend his family. And of course there is Fernando Pessoa who wrote under a series of heteronymns – Alvaro de Campos, Alberto Caeiro the keeper of sheep, the artistocratic monarchist Ricardo Reis, and so on.

Colm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels, three short story collections and several works of nonfiction. He has written countless articles, plays, an opera libretto and a collection of poetry, and been a finalist for the Booker Prize multiple times He is perhaps best known for his novel Brooklyn, which was made into a movie that was nominated for three Oscars. Set in the middle of the 20th century, Brooklyn is about Eilis Lacey who leaves her small town in Ireland for New York. After building a life there, she is drawn back home and has to choose where she wants to forge her future. Tóibín opens his lecture with the moment of his father's wake in his childhood home in which he hears, as a child, the real life story that would later inspire his character of Elis Lacey. From there, Tóibín's talk is a captivating story of all of his stories, and a kind of master class for writing a novel. He is a writer known for rendering the quiet intimacies between characters, revealing powerful emotional undercurrents and their deep longings.  He is a writer who makes you care about the tiny details of a life – the buttons on a coat or the emotional reverberations of a silence. In this talk, he illuminates his craft, and pulls the curtain back on how his own life shaped his most famous novels. Colm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels, including Long Island, an Oprah's Book Club Pick; The Magician, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; The Master, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Brooklyn, winner of the Costa Book Award; and Nora Webster; as well as two story collections and several books of criticism. He is the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and was named the 2022–2024 Laureate for Irish Fiction by the Arts Council of Ireland. He was shortlisted three times for the Booker Prize. He was also awarded the Bodley Medal, the Würth Prize for European Literature, and the Prix Femina spécial for his body of work.

However, its terminal-based "green screen" interface could no longer meet modern requirements for usability, scalability, cloud readiness, or device independence, and onboarding new employees was time-consuming and costly. Chadwicks faced a critical challenge shared by many long-established enterprises: how to modernise a mission-critical system without losing the intellectual capital built into it or disrupting day-to-day business. The solution was AccuPRO, a web-enabled, cloud-hosted ERP designed to support Chadwicks' continued leadership and growth in the builders' merchant sector, while dramatically boosting back office and branch team user experiences.

His love of the Irish language grew after spending time in East Timor teaching English. Experiencing life in a multilingual society led him to question why Ireland often makes such a “song and dance” about bilingualism.After returning to Ireland, Colm studied communications and worked with the Irish-language newspapers Lá and Gaelscéal. He now works in the non-profit sector but continues to contribute actively to public conversations about the Irish language, language attitudes, and language policy.While working in journalism, Colm became increasingly interested in the myths and misconceptions frequently repeated about Irish. This led him to develop a myth-busting campaign with Conradh na Gaeilge that examines common claims about the language and their impact on public attitudes. The campaign has included public talks, webinars, educational resources for teachers, YouTube videos, media appearances, and a TEDx Talk.Colm's writing has appeared in The Irish Times, TheJournal.ie, and other publications, and he has been interviewed on RTÉ Radio 1, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió na Life, Raidió Fáilte and BBC Radio. He believes that myths and misunderstandings about Irish continue to have a real and negative effect on the language, and much of his work focuses on challenging those assumptions through evidence, history, and public discussion.Learn more:Ted Talk InstagramConradh na Gaeilge This is a public episode.
