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
In the opening verse Jesus is portrayed as having a new sense of
clarity about his life that enables him to set out on the road
‘resolutely’. Per-haps there have been such moments in your life,
moments of insight and clarity about the road ahead. Recall such moments
and what they were like for you.
As he walked the road Jesus met with opposition. This angered some of
his friends and they wanted to hit back. Jesus restrained them, and
would not let himself be distracted from the journey he was making. What
helps you keep your goals in mind when minor annoyances distract you?
The response of Jesus to prospective followers seems harsh. He lets
the first man know that discipleship is not a path to a comfortable
nest. It is a way in which we never know what is going to be asked of us
next. The disciple must be ready to move on. Where have you found good
news in being open to change, confident in the presence of Jesus with
you?
Jesus also demands commitment. It is easy for us to think about times
when our commitment was less than perfect. But can you also recall the
times when you realised the truth of this story– that commitment brings
its own fruits and blessings. What specific blessings can you bring to
mind?
THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK
The Gospel for this Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time underlines the
radical nature of the Christian calling. ‘All or Nothing’ is a film on
the life of Sr Clare Crockett. We feature some of her wisdom and insight
into the life of faith. Following the celebration of Corpus Christi, our
video this week is on how we evangelise through the Eucharist. As the
World Meeting of Families concludes in Rome, we offer more resources and
ideas of how to support family life. We shine a light on the life of St
Irenaeus, whose feast day falls on 28th June and Saints Peter and Paul
whom we honour on the 29th. Finally, more light and inspiration from
Lorcan Brennan. Check out these and other resources available at
www.thehookoffaith.com
