The Bishops of Ireland have called for a national collection in support of Trócaire’s work to provide life-saving aid to the vulnerable communities in East Africa and Democratic Republic of the Congo who are being pushed in their million to the edge of starvation. A deadly mix of climate change, conflict, COVID-19 and a desert locust infestation are adding to a major humanitarian crisis – and people across East Africa and DRC need help now! We appeal to you, to do what you can to save lives and support Trócaire’s emergency Response. The collection takes place in Kilmyshall Church this weekend 6th & 7th November and Bunclody next weekend 13th & 14th November. Please give what you can!

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.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

 It is clear from the gospels that Jesus did not like hypocrites, people who pre-tend to be what they are not. They long for attention and love to be saluted by all and sundry. They wear lavish clothes and seek the places of honour and prominence at religious venues and other celebrations. They are known both for their lengthy prayers and blatant injustice.

There is a great contrast towards the end of Sunday’s Gospel. Jesus took time out to watch people make contribution to the temple treasury. Many people gave generously from their superflua, that was over and above what they needed. But he noticed a poor widow who put in all she possessed, all she had to live on. Jesus highlights her remarkable generosity. It was what he called for himself and how he lived himself. St Paul was truly aware of his generosity. "You are well aware of the generosity which Our Lord Jesus Christ had, that, although he was rich, he became poor for your sake, so that you would become rich through his poverty." (2 Cor. 8:9) Jesus became poor by giving himself on our behalf. His life and action were the essence of love. He wants us to imitate that spirit and it can take in the whole of life in our relationships with God and with each other. We can be generous in giving to those in need. We can be generous in giving good time to those who are significant in our lives. We can be generous in patience when we are aggravated or unjustly dismissed. We can be generous in looking out for opportunities to offer help when our com-fort may have been our desire. We can be generous in praising and in giving confidence and self-belief to those who are negative and defeatist. By giving of ourselves we become poorer, but in doing so we make others richer and more full of life
