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

When we talk about the Eucharist we talk about Sacrament. In Sacrament we use words and actions to bring about an extraordinary happening. It is good to recall the prayer before the consecration in the third Eucharistic Prayer. "Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit, graciously make holy these gifts we have brought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ." In virtue of the words of consecration this is exactly what happens for those present at the celebration. It goes even beyond that. "This is the chalice of my blood.. Which will be poured out for you and for many". These are the critical words that reveal a tremendous truth. They put us in touch with the death of Christ, with the death of the Son of God who gave up his life out of his utter goodness to manifest his love for us. Every time we attend mass and we pay attention to these words His great act of love for us takes place in our church. Calvary takes place for us in our church. For that reason the Eucharist de-scribed as a Memorial. What took place in the past takes place for us now.

There is another gift in the Eucharist that we cannot forget. It is the gift of the Lord himself in Holy Communion. He comes to nourish us, but not in the way that natural food does. He nourishes us by his contact with us which renews our relationship and friend-ship with him. It is a time of prayer, of conversation and a great sense of union.

I believe that, as Christians, we need to go beyond coming to mass and receiving Jesus in the Eucharist. If Eucharist is to make an impact on our lives and community, we need to live it day by day. To do so we return to the words of consecration. "This is my body which will be given up for you" and "this is the chalice of my blood which will be poured out for you". Jesus gave of his humanity, of himself and of his life substance for our benefit.

Reflection for weekend 28th Aug & 29th Aug

Love is one thing that unites all of human existence. It has the ability to inspire, to encourage, and to lighten your heart.

If we could only realise the world of a difference our love can make in someone’s life. I don’t think we fully appreciate our goodness, how much our kindness matters and how our love transforms others. We do it and we simply move on. If we could just know the amount of hidden energies we release in others when we do our bit and our best, we’d be amazed. The hectic pace of life quickly moves us on. But God has actively been involved in that moment and in the next moment we do it again. It would be a great shame to underestimate the great good you are doing. People change when they are given hope, above all they change when they are loved. They come out of their shells and hidden energies are released in them. (Flor McCarthy) The message is simple today....love one another (Reflection by Fr James McSweeney)

THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

As he comes to the end of his time as bishop of Ferns, we talk to Bishop Denis Brennan as he looks back on his fifteen years of service – the highs, the lows and his hopes for the future. The newsletter insert includes an extract from St John Paul II’s ‘Pastores Gregis’ on the ministry of a bishop. The homily for the Twenty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time is offered by Fr Lar O’Connor who comments on Jesus’ attention to our motives rather than external actions. We have an article that marks the beginning of the ‘Season of Creation’ from 1st September to 4th October. Finally, we include a conversation between David Quinn from the Iona Institute and David Nugent of Atheist Ireland on how faith or lack of faith has implications for social stability, values and ethics. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
