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

Something we may not often think about is Jesus’ earthly relationship with creation. Jesus walked everywhere, went to quiet places to pray, preached from mountains, from boats on the water; his followers included fisherman in tune with the rhythm of the sea. In Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’- On care for Our Common House, he reminds us that Jesus ‘was in constant touch with nature, lending it an attention full of fondness and wonder’ (Laudato Si’,97).

Jesus’ parables are full of imagery from the natural world and in today’s Gospel we have an example of this in the parable of the mustard seed. People of Jesus’ time may have preferred the image of the lofty ‘cedars of Lebanon’ to ex-plain God’s kingdom, mustard plants however, only stand a few feet tall. Jesus is turning the ideals of power and triumph on their head. There is an ancient text which forbade planting mustard seeds in Palestinian gardens because the shrub takes over wherever it is planted and attracts unwanted birds, Author and activist, Shane Claiborne, compares it to Kudzu, a wild vine that could blanket entire mountain areas, smother trees, even crack cement buildings. This mustard seed image of God’s dream for this world is one which suggests that it will grow even in places where it is not wanted, putting cracks in seemingly mighty structures.

The New Testament not only tells us of the earthly Jesus and his tangible and loving relationship with the world. It also shows him risen and glorious, present throughout all of creation (Col 1:19-20).

‘ The very flowers of the field and the birds which (Christs) human eyes contemplated and admired are now imbued with his radiant presence’ (Laudato Si, 100). As we watch out for traces of the mustard seed kingdom this week, let us also embrace the joy of Christ in all of creation.

THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

On the Hook of Faith, we begin a new series this week on ‘A New Irish Catholicism’. In this series, we explore in what ways the Lord is renewing his Church. The homily for this Eleventh Sunday of Ordinary Time is offered by Fr Brian Broaders who unpacks a series of Jesus’ parables on the seed that grows. We have the usual newsletter insert and a reflection by Bro. Solanus from the Friary in Wexford. We feature a video by Pope Francis on his intention for the month of June – that urges young people not to give up on the dream of married love. Finally, we have updated statistics from Holland that show the numbers dying from euthanasia are increasing rapidly – a fact that challenges its pro-posed legalisation here. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com

Reflection for weekend 12th & 13th June 2021

The grand connection between grandparents and grand-children where the wisdom and serenity of the older generation is mixed with the energy and enthusiasm of the young - each can benefit the other. Pope Francis recognises this and has declared Sunday 25th July as the first World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly.

There are Blessings and Graces that being a grandparent can bring according to Ms. Stanton

1. Grandparents are blessed as they get a second chance to get it right. We know where we went wrong before
2. Wisdom of the years that has been gained by living-we can share
3. Humility - we know when we are wrong
4. To love – not always looking to be loved
5. To be generous –with your time and not just money
6. To be light-hearted and to laugh with the grandchildren and play with them
7. To listen – use your ears more
8. Question rather than declare or tell them what to do –if you ask the right questions they often come up with answer themselves
9. Be really present – show up and shut up
10.To pray – even when you are not there physically we can always pray for them.
