LOVED AND FORGIVEN
In the Gospel today, we read of two ministries at work - love and forgiveness; Jesus loving unconditionally and forgiving completely.
The woman, indeed all of us, are truly known by God and need His forgiveness in total humility.
Those who have received complete forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation or forgiveness following a long-standing breakdown in a relationship, know the joy, freedom and the dignity that follows such an experience.
Forgiveness stems from love and creates love. Deep in our being there is a longing for acceptance and forgiveness and we are assured of that when we hear the words; “your sins are forgiven”. Lk 7:48.
There is a little bit of Simon in all of us, where our first choice is to condemn. That was not Jesus’ way; His starting point was love.
He invites us to make that choice always!
Don’t waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin, and inspiration will find you.
FIRST COMMUNION
Congratulations to the children from Durrow NS who received the Eucharist for the first time last Wednesday. We wish God’s blessing on them, their families, friends and teachers and all who helped them on their faith journey to this special time.
CORPUS CHRISTI
Thanks to all who participated in the procession last week. Special thanks to the residents of Davitt St for the special effort and all who decorated their homes.

SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS Luke 9:18-24 1 Jesus asks the disciples how people understand who he is and then asks them ‘Who do you say I am?’ How would you answer that question? What title or description would you give to describe who Jesus is for you?
2 Jesus goes on to teach his followers that discipleship is not about fame and honour. It is about living gospel values and will involve suffering, but that suffering will be a prelude to new life. When have you found that living gospel values was indeed costly but that you were glad you had paid that price?
3 The message of Jesus was not addressed just to his chosen twelve but ‘to all’. Perhaps you also have found that it is a fact of life that we often have to pay in effort, time or patience, to experience growth, progress and the good things in life. Can you bring specific experiences to mind? John Byrne OSA
