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
The Ascension of Jesus w as an important growth point for the
disciples. Jesus would be with them in a different way from now on.
Painful through it was, it was necessary for them to let go of his
physical presence and adjust to the new reality. Perhaps you have known
similar transition points in your own life.
Jesus invited the disciples to be witnesses to the good news they had
learned. They way we live, speak and relate to others speaks of what we
have learned about life. We all are witnesses. How have you been a
witness to the goodness of life. In particular Jesus invited them to be
witnesses to the good news of forgiveness. Recall people who have been
witnesses to you of forgiveness and reconciliation. What effect did they
have on your life? Have you been able to be a witness to the good news
of forgiveness in your life?
Stay in the city until … Jesus instructs the apostles to wait
patiently for the moment of grace. What been your experience of waiting
for a moment of grace? What are the moments of grace that you
particularly recall (a friendship, a new opportunity, birth of a baby,
etc)?
THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK
The Feast of the Lord’s Ascension is also ‘World Communications Day’.
We have Pope Francis’ message where he talks about the importance of
listening with the ears of the heart. We have a homily for this Sunday
and the usual newsletter insert. In these weeks when a Catholic ethos in
schools and hospitals is being attacked as something harmful and
dangerous, we explore precisely what is a ‘Catholic ethos’. We celebrate
the fourth anniversary of the Hook of Faith and conclude the Novena of
Prayer for Life. Finally, in our video this week, Bishop Robert Barron
reflects on how Christ wants to come into our lives in a deeper way. Do
we have the courage to let him in? Check out these and other resources
available at www.thehookoffaith.com
