(Vol.33 No 44) - Sunday, 25th October 2009

 

 

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Jesus asked: 'What do you want me to do for you?' This question, asked in the Gospel of a blind man, is addressed to each one of us by Jesus. The man who was born blind had no hesitation in asking for his sight to be given him. That was the single most important thing for him in his life. We should ask ourselves what our single most important need and desire is for our own lives. In what ways are we blind and need our sight restored? Maybe it is in relation to what our real priorities are. Or maybe it is in our close relationships of marriage and family life where we can easily fail to see the hurt or distress or loneliness of one another. Or we may be blind to our responsibility to care for those around us in our parish or wider community who are in need. This week is a call to look into our hearts and open ourselves up to the power of Christ to heal us and set us free.

 

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R

Christ the King Service for those buried in Greenhill Cemetery will take place next Sunday 1st October at 7pm. This year the format has been slightly changed due to the volume of people now buried in Greenhill. Only the names of those who have died during the last 10 years will be called out. However one large candle will be lit and a silence observed in remembrance of all the others who are buried in the cemetery.

 

 

Mass for all those in our parish who have died since this time last year will be celebrated in St Mary’s Church, Killyclogher at 7pm on Thursday 5th November. It is hoped that each of the bereaved families will receive a letter but with the current uncertainty in the postal service this may not be possible. If you do not receive a letter, please contact the parish office on 8224 3375 and let us know if you will be attending. We would request that the family member designed to take up the candle be in the church at 6.50pm
