Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading
Wisdom 2: 12. 17-20
The godless plot to do away with
the just one, because his blameless
life is a reproach to them.
Second Reading

Jealousy, ambition and self-seeking
lead to disharmony and fighting.
Gentleness, reasonableness and mercy
lead to peace.
Gospel Mark
9: 30-37
Jesus tells his apostles he will
suffer bitter humiliation and death,
and says true greatness shows itself
in service towards the weaker members
of the community.

family and relatives of
Cathal McAshee,
formerly of Sunningdale and Richmond

"Youthlife
is offering a new residential programme
for young
people who have been bereaved by
suicide in the Residential Centre,
Ulster American Folk Park from 8
pm on Friday 25th until 5 pm on
Sunday 27th September 2009. The
loss of a loved one through suicide
brings with it many different feelings
and emotions. These can appear so
unbearable that young people may
feel they cannot cope. Young people
need to know that it's alright to
show their grief in their own way
without feeling guilty or wrong.
The weekend is open to young people
from the age of 11
upwards. For further information
and application forms please contact
Bridie or Pat at 71377227, email
youthlife_be@hotmail.com or access
