SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPEL
(Mark 10:2-16)
Marriages do break down, but in this story Jesus appears as the wise person urging people to seek first the original harmony where possible, rather than seek escape routes when difficulties arise.
When have you found that, in marriage or in other relationships, the bonds have been strengthened when you have been prepared to work through difficulties?
There are other things that we needlessly and wrongly put in opposition: young and old, male and female, people from different cultures, body and soul. Perhaps at times you have discovered the advantages of exploring the richness in combining such apparently exclusive opposites.
The children in the second story can be taken as representing any group of “little ones” whose opinion we may be inclined to dismiss. When have you found that you have been taught an important lesson about life, about love, or about faith by people whose views you had been inclined to dismiss?
John Byrne OSA, Intercom Oct 21
CONFIRMATION
Congratulations to our young people who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this weekend. We acknowledge the great work of so many people in preparing them for this sacrament. We appreciate the commitment of our teachers and schools for their support and professionalism and we acknowledge the central work of parents and guardians in handing on the faith to their children.
We remember to pray for our young people and it is the responsibility and the privilege of the entire Christian Community to share the faith with the next generation.
SPONSORED CYCLE
I would like to thank everyone who subscribed to the sponsored cycle to provide a defibrillator for the Church grounds.To date we have received over €3,000 in sponsorship.
I would like to especially thank Donagh McArdle who supplied the bicycle for the event.
