15th Sunday in Ordinary Time

What kind of people are we?

“Other (seed) fell on rich soil and produced their crop”. We have all kinds of choices to make in the course of a lifetime. Probably the most significant one is the kind of person we want to be in relation to God and to one another. This is not predetermined as we can let ourselves be changed through the way we listen to God’s Word and how we listen and are transformed by those close to us. We are shaped right through life by what/who we are listening to. If we listen to the world around us we will put ourselves at the centre of our own world. If we listen to God’s Word we will put God and those we love at the centre. The first way leads to loneliness and isolation. The second way leads to fulfilment. Each of us can produce a lot of good for our world but only if we are living a life of love of God and love of one another in our homes and families and in our community of faith.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Please note that the Friday night Mass in the Cappagh Parish Centre will be discontinued during July and August. The last Friday night Mass will be celebrated on July 4th and will resume on Friday September 5th .
