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.
Please phone 087 2805426 or 086 8135587

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Martha and Mary were people of faith but Jesus led them to an even
deeper faith, who were the people who led you to a deeper faith in
Jesus? Remember them and give thanks. Martha and Mary were struggling to
come to terms with their bereavement. What has helped you in similar
situations? The concern of Jesus is palpable and touching. Recall those
who matter to you and to whom you matter. Such love mediates God’s love,
which surpasses human love with the gift of new life and Easter joy. One
can imagine Lazarus as a symbol of people and groups that are written
off as dead (sometimes by themselves), and yet through faith come back
to life again. Have you had the experience of being revived by faith?
Has faith helped to free you from what held you in bondage, or was
destructive of your life?
THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK
‘Do you believe in eternal life?’ This is the question that Jesus
poses to Martha in the Gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Lent and indeed
puts before us all. Do we believe? This is the key question that we
explore. We continue with the YouTube series ‘The Creed in Slow Motion’
and include Bishop Barron’s beautiful video meditations on the Stations
of the Cross. We also have reflections on Jesus’ ‘Seven Last Words’ and
discover another useful website that provides plentiful resources for
parishes. As Holy Week approaches, we have an article on the close
proximity of the mysteries of death and resurrection and finally, more
inspiration and hope from the writing of Lorcan Brennan. Check out these
and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
