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
Today's Gospel follows immediately from Jesus discourse on the Bread
of Life where he identifies himself as the Bread of Life with the
Eucharist, with his flesh and blood. The reaction is very negative. Even
his followers and disciples could not accept what he had to say. Jesus
wonders if he were to ascend into heaven like great figures of the past
and return with genuine revelation would it make a difference. Of
course, the old and certain tradition based on the Old Testament made it
hard for them to hear the teaching of Jesus. It has to go beyond that.
To under-stand on a superficial and human level leads nowhere. It is the
Spirit, who engenders faith and will lead to a good and true
understanding.
Anyway, not able to accept the words of Jesus, "many of his disciples
left him and stopped going with him." This is not a strange or unusual
happening. It is to our regret that many of Jesus’ disciples have walked
away from the Eucharist in recent times. To understand why is not easy
to fully understand. It may have to do with either lack or deficient
understanding. It may have to do with the sweep of secular and
non-religious or anti-religious culture prevalent in the country. It may
have to do with Laziness or recurring bad habit.
I am convinced that if people had a good and genuine understanding of
the Eucharist and what happens during its celebration they would never
or, at least seldom, miss mass. Jesus left us the Eucharist at the Last
Supper. It was his greatest gift to the church. As the Eucharist
developed it nourished people at two levels. First of all the word of
God in the first part of the mass nourishes us by contact with Jesus,
his message and his values. The second part of the mass nourishes us by
our contact with the role of Jesus on the mystery of our salvation.
Reflection for weekend 21st Aug & 22nd Aug
The Influence We Can Exert.
"If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any
lawn" (Andrew Mason")
The power each one of us has to influence others to good or evil is
so great that it is almost without limit. The explanation of this is
that when God finds a willing, a humble, a dependable worker, He uses
him/her as a channel for His grace for others. A thought on names such
as St Paul, St Dominic, St Francis of Assisi, and on the other hand
Luther or Voltaire, will serve to show what it lies in one man to do- to
influence a whole world, century after century. Man is small but a man
who is in earnest about an idea is not small. He is going to influence
others, and nobody knows where that is going to end. Let our dominating
idea be the glory of God and the salvation of souls. (Frank Duff)
I can remember at school our science teacher telling us that a weed
is a flower in the wrong place. It was a simple explanation but one I
have never forgotten. The weed is also symbolic of those people that we
don’t like or that irritate us. These people, like a flower, also have
good qualities. But because we see them as a weed they tend to be not
welcome. The following prayer might help: ‘Lord, it’s hard to get on
with every-one, in fact it’s nearly impossible. When someone is really
annoying me, help me to see the flower rather than the weed. Lord, I do
want to give it a go, knowing that there are times too when I’m not
always a flow-er!’ (Thoughts by Fr James McSweeney
