(Vol.33 No 45) - Sunday, 1st November 2009

 

 

All Saints.

Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd: "How happy are the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The Beatitudes are given to us as the way of life for all Christians and for anyone who wants to live life to the full. To be poor in spirit does not mean that we think that we are no good. At times this is how it is passed on to us. It does mean to be in touch with the wonders of who we are, how good we are, but to know that all of that is gift, not possession. We have so much and yet we either take it for granted or we are only aware of what we don't have. This week is a call to be in touch with our richness and be filled with gratitude and gladness. How important this is for every married couple if they are to live their marriage fully. It is also very important for families to rejoice in each other. And our faith community is so full of the goodness of people and richness of Christ. To be a saint is to be a person of gratitude.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R

All Saints

 

First Reading Apocalypse 7: 2-4, 9-14
I saw a huge Number, impossible to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language.

 

Second Reading 1 John 3: 1-3
Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us, by letting us be called God’s children.

 

Gospel Matthew 5: 1-12
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.

 

 

 

November is traditionally the month when we remember our dead.

A plenary indulgence for the dead can be gained by visiting the church on November 1 or 2 and reciting the Our Father and Creed and a prayer for the Pope’s intentions, and by going to Confession and Communion during this period. With the same sacramental requirements, we can gain an indulgence for the dead each day we visit a cemetery November 1-8 and pray for the faithful departed.

 

 

As All Saints Day falls on a Sunday so there will be no change in the Mass times.

 

All Souls day is on Monday and the Masses are as follows:

 

Killyclogher 10.00 am
Christ the King 07.30 pm
Knockmoyle 10.00 am
Mountfield 08 00 pm


Sacrament of Reconciliation


KC 7.30-8.15 Saturday CTK 5.45-6.15 Saturday
KM after 10 Mass Friday MF 7.30-8 pm Monday

 

 

On the same theme:

 

The Mass for all those who have died in our parish since this time last year will be celebrated on this Thursday night 5th November at 7.00pm in St. Mary’s Church Killyclogher. By now most of you should have received a letter inviting you to attend the Mass but because of the ongoing uncertainty with our postal system we would ask you to contact the parish office if you have not been contacted. The nominated members of the families who will bring the candles to the altar are requested to be in their seats at 6.50pm as places will be reserved for them.
