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
Sunday’s Gospel is about the death of Jesus, but deals with it in a
remarkable way. In John’s Gospel the death and glorification of Jesus
belong together. We normally think of His resurrection as being the
moment when he is glorified. For John he is exalted and glorified on the
cross. At that moment he reaches the high point of his human life when
he gave himself totally in love for humanity. But he also glorified his
Father by his love of Him and by fulfilling his will completely. By his
love he gave himself up for us and also honoured his Father by
fulfilling the Father’s plan for our salvation.
The Gospel concludes when Jesus gives a new commandment. "I give you
a new commandment, love one another; just as I have loved you, you must
also love on another." It is clear that Jesus is the model of our love
for each other. It means that we give ourselves generously and even
totally for the benefit of each other. It is a challenge because we have
always to contend with the pride and selfish instincts that affect us
all. In today’s world focus on the individual plays a big part. I am the
only one who matters, I decide for myself what is right and wrong and I
am happy to do my own thing. An emphasis on personal dignity and
autonomy may be a good thing, but goes contrary to what truly makes us
mature and fulfilled human persons. Love is the key. We recognise the
importance and value of the other person; we focus on their good and
welfare and do what we can to enhance them and add to their lives. Love
in the family is basic. It is mutual. Each party goes out of his/her way
to add to the good of the other. In all of us there is the capacity and
the drive to love. But, so often it is smothered by giving in to the
selfish and individualistic instincts that are part of our make-up and
culture.
THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK
The synodal pathway in our diocese is moving along and following many
meetings, conversations and listening, a synthesis of those voices is
now published here on ‘The Hook of Faith’. This synthesis is accompanied
by a commentary and interview with Mr Sean O’ Leary. We have a homily
for the Fifth Sunday of Easter where Jesus leaves us the great command
to ‘Love one another as I have loved you’. We have the usual newsletter
insert with light and inspiration from Lorcan Brennan. We have an audio
interview with Fr Chris Hayden on his new book ‘A Better Vision’ and a
video interview with a former successful businessman who left it all to
become a priest. Check out these and other resources available at
www.thehookoffaith.com
