THE MOVEMENT
A brotherhood of prayer, mercy, mission, and redemption in the heart of modern Ireland.
-
Iron & Incense is an urban friar movement for people carrying scars, questions, anger, shame, exhaustion, grief, addiction, or spiritual hunger.
Rooted in the spirit of Francis of Assisi, we believe Christ still walks among ordinary broken people.
We pray. We serve. We feed people. We stay honest. We walk together.
-
This movement is for:
men carrying hidden battles,
people burned by religion,
the lonely,
the recovering,
the spiritually exhausted,
those seeking brotherhood,
people searching for meaning,
anyone trying to find their way back to God.
-
Pray daily
Stay honest
Serve the poor
Eat with others
Rest before exhaustion
Brotherhood over isolation
Mercy over masks
Christ at the centre
Holy Thursday evening has a hush to it.
Not the hush of ease, but the hush of a turf fire as dusk falls, the hush of candlelight in an old stone chapel, the hush of a bell echoing across the hills. There is a softness to this night, but beneath it lies weight. This is no ordinary evening in the Christian story.
This is the night Christ gathered with His own. The night He took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it. The night He lifted the cup. The night He stooped to wash the feet of His friends. The night He began the lonely road toward the cross.
