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

There is little doubt, Jesus must have been discouraged from time to time. The Apostles were with him for a long time. But Jesus’ teaching is not getting through to them. John and James, the sons of Zebedee come to him looking for prime places in his kingdom. Jesus reacts by pointing to their ignorance. "You do not know what you are asking." He challenges them by asking if they are ready to suffer as he is ready to suffer. They claimed that they were. But Jesus explained that it was not his prerogative to give places in his kingdom.

The other apostles were not too happy with John and James. Jesus decided to re-mind them of what is important in life. People with authority have positions of power and exercise clout or lord it over their subjects. But this must not be the way with his followers. "Anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant and anyone who wants to be first among you must be slave to all". The key to greatness is service, a service born out of respect for the dignity of other people and laced with a spirit of love, respect and care. Service means commitment to the other and a readiness to offer practical help. We have Jesus’ personal example to give us direction. "For the Son of Man himself did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many." Jesus did not seek or relish power or authority. He came to serve and liberate people from a self-centred existence and lead them to the freedom of a generous spirit.

Synodal Process

In these days, the Catholic Church throughout the world and in Ireland is beginning a series of conversations about what God wants of his people at this time. These conversations are often referred to as a Synodal Process. "Synodal" comes from a Greek word which means "walking together".
On Sunday 17th October we mark the opening of this Synodal Process entitled, For a synodal Church: communion, participation and mission. This Synodal Process coincides with the start of the two-year Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland which will lead, in time, to a National Synodal Assembly in Ireland.

We pray that the next two years will be a time of prayer, listening and discernment, involving a consultative conversation. This will allow all people - both within the Church and in society at large, to share their insights into the Catholic Church in Ireland – past, present and future – so that we can prepare for a National Synodal Assembly in the coming years. www.catholicbishops.ie/synod - to learn more about the Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland, www.synod.va – to learn more about the worldwide Synod.

Prayer of the Faithful

"Father of all, as we begin this journey together, may we be guided by the Holy Spirit so that we may truly listen and discern together."

Lord hear us.

THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist who shot to fame with his 2018 book12 Rules for Life which became an international bestseller. In the book Peterson argues that the call to virtue and moral integrity is a requirement to achieve our potential. On his feast day on 22nd October, we compare this message to the witness of St John Paul II. We have a homily for the Twenty-Ninth Sunday of Ordinary Time by Sr Louise O’Rourke who reflects on Jesus’ mission to serve and not be served. We have the usual newsletter insert and Pope Francis’s message for World Youth Day 2021. Our video this week is by actor Denzel Washington who explains his conversion to Christianity. Finally, we anticipate ‘Mission Sunday’ which falls next week on Sunday 24th. www.thehookoffaith.com
