Bunclody ICA - New members needed

It is 70 years since ICA was started in Bunclody. The guild has always been very active in the parish for all those years. We want to keep that tradition alive. But, due in no small way to Covid 19 and the demographic ageing of our members, we are desperately looking for new members to join our guild. We meet once a month and have a guest speaker. Sometimes have various crafts, etc at our meeting. We also meet once a month for coffee and chat in local restaurant. Sadly, if we do not get new members, we may have to close the guild. If you have 2 hours to spare, once a month, and to keep the guild open, which was kept going by so many wonderful women in the past.

Please phone 087 2805426 or 086 8135587

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

In Sunday’s Gospel Jesus returns to his home town of Nazareth. In our terms it was a village. It was never mentioned in the Old Testament. Jesus came back and people were astonished. They were amazed by his wisdom and power. Wasn’t he the Son of Joseph and we know his brothers who were probably sons of Joseph from a previous marriage. But the locals did not want to accept him. That led to Jesus’ proverb "A prophet is only despised in his own country, among his own relations, and in his own house."

It is clear from the Scriptures that Jesus was a prophet. Prophets were not people who forecast the future, but their role was to speak the word of God and bring God’s mind to bear on the present realities of society and on the trends that would lead to growth or disaster for the people. They were conscious and aware of the thinking and behaviour of the people and, frequently, judged if it conformed to what God wanted or not. Jesus is also our prophet and has left us a body of information and knowledge that can guide us to a good life where God is at the centre. He is the key both to our perfection, our happiness and our salvation. The people of his time were astonished by his wisdom. His wisdom is our gift. Wisdom, in the Bible is always practical wisdom, suggesting what we can do to become good people.

THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

‘I Am With You Always’ is the title of the message from Pope Francis for the first ‘World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly’ which falls on 25th July this year, the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, the grand-parents of Jesus. We feature the message in full and explore its significance. The homily for the Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary time is offered by Fr Brian Broaders who reflects on people’s encounter with the person of Christ who changed lives. Our video this week is a lengthy but inspiring interview with Mattie Harte, son of Micky Harte. He talks about the loss of his sister Michaela, faith and forgiveness. Finally, there is a wealth of wisdom on offer from the many saints we celebrate this week including St. Irenaeus, Peter, Paul and Oliver Plunkett. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com

Reflection

..for weekend 3rd & 4th July 2021
World Day for Grandparents & the Elderly coming soon on Sun 25th July Pope Francis speaks to grandparents and the elderly

The prophet Joel once promised: "Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men will have visions" (3:1). The future of the world depends on this covenant between young and old. Who, if not the young, can take the dreams of the elderly and make them come true? Our dreams of justice, of peace, of solidarity can make it possible for our young people to have new visions; in this way, together, we can build the future. You need to show that it is possible to emerge renewed from an experience of hardship. I am sure that you have had more than one such experience: in your life you have faced any number of troubles and yet were able to pull through. Use those experiences to learn how to pull through now. Dreams are thus intertwined with memory. I think of the painful memory of war, and its importance for helping the young to learn the value of peace. Those among you who experienced the suffering of war must pass on this message. Keeping memory alive is a true mission for every elderly person: keeping memory alive and sharing it with others. And the foundation of life is memory. Finally, as my predecessor, Pope Benedict, him-self once said: "the prayer of the elderly can protect the world, helping it perhaps more effectively than the frenetic activity of many others." [4] Your prayer is a very precious resource: a deep breath that the Church and the world urgently need (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, 262). Especially in these difficult times for our human family, as we continue to sail in the same boat across the stormy sea of the pandemic, your intercession for the world and for the Church has great value: it inspires in everyone the serene trust that we will soon come to shore. (Pope Francis)
