“I am the handmaid of the Lord”
When Mary said ‘yes’ to the Incarnation,
she said yes to God and promised
that she would centre her life
on God’s invitation to be the mother of his Son.
She said ‘yes’ to new life,
she said ‘yes’ to faith that God would look after her,
she said ‘yes’ to trust that God would not let her down,
she said ‘yes’ to hope that her son would find his way in life;
and isn’t all this like any mother or father,
as they await new life?
She did not expect easy answers.
She would be patient with life
and with God.
If we say ‘yes’ with thanks and with trust,
If we say ‘yes’ to God’s grace in our lives,
We will never be alone.

“Well done, good and faithful servant”
We are all gifted by God in such a variety of ways, but we have one thing in common—we are all gifted! God gives talents to all—so we are talented! Regardless of what those gifts or talents are, they are entrusted to us not only to offer us life, but also to make a difference to the lives of others, so that they might see the goodness of God at work in our world. Even to risk using our gifts and talents in the smallest of ways can make a massive difference in the life of the world. God takes a risk with us, the faithful God who offers us so much, the question is are we willing to trust and to take the risk with God?
Rev. Peter O’Kane.

A GOSPEL CHALLENGE
Loving our neighbour as ourselves is a necessary element in giving our hearts and minds to God and that is where the challenge lies. It is wonderful in theory but difficult to put into practice. To love one’s neighbour can be challenging especially when the people next door are inquisitive and their children downright bad-mannered, not to mention the work-mate who is trying on our nerves. To show love in such circumstances is dreadfully difficult and demands great effort and yet, more often than not, we meet God in such an encounter. Make no mistake, our religion becomes an escape and our holiness an illusion if we pray daily, go to church on Sundays, yet cut ourselves off from the people who are worshipping under the same roof as ourselves. God cares about how we treat others. Everyone is made in his image and likeness.

GO AND TELL
In this Jubilee Year dedicated to St. Paul, we are reminded of the urgency to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the world. There can be no slackening or stagnation in the essential mission of the Church to evangelise all people. Today there are countless people thirsting for hope and love who are still waiting for the proclamation of the Gospel.
The Gospel is a life changing communication that gives hope. Without Christ, humanity is without hope because it is without God. God is the great hope that sustains the whole life. The love of God for us prods us to missionary activity. Evangelisers must drink from the original source, which is Jesus Christ. It is from his pierced heart that the love of God flows. Only from this source can care, tenderness, compassion, hospitality, availability and interest in people’s problems be drawn.

GO AND TELL
In this Jubilee Year dedicated to St. Paul, we are reminded of the urgency to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the world. There can be no slackening or stagnation in the essential mission of the Church to evangelise all people. Today there are countless people thirsting for hope and love who are still waiting for the proclamation of the Gospel.
The Gospel is a life changing communication that gives hope. Without Christ, humanity is without hope because it is without God. God is the great hope that sustains the whole life. The love of God for us prods us to missionary activity. Evangelisers must drink from the original source, which is Jesus Christ. It is from his pierced heart that the love of God flows. Only from this source can care, tenderness, compassion, hospitality, availability and interest in people’s problems be drawn.

O Sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher.
You are the season of full barns and harvested fields.
From you I wish to learn the virtue of contentment.
In a society that is ever restless, always seeking happiness through more and more possessions, teach me to value and appreciate all I have received.
May I know that I am rich beyond measure in the abundance of God’s grace.
As you Autumn, take pleasure in your great bounty,
let me also take delight in the simple things in life, which are the true source of joy.
O sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher.

O Sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher.
You are the season of full barns and harvested fields.

May I know that I am rich beyond measure in the abundance of God’s grace.
As you Autumn, take pleasure in your great bounty,
let me also take delight in the simple things in life, which are the true source of joy.
O sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Loving God,
Each member of our family is a special gift from You.
You have given us each gifts and talents to share with others and to help us live life in all its fullness.
Help us to know how to encourage and support each other so that we can respond generously to our Baptismal call.
Help us to foster a culture of vocations in our family and parish so that people will respond to the call to serve You through the vocation of ordained ministry or religious life. Help us to be aware that You are with us as we strive to become the kind of people You call us to be.
We make this our prayer through Jesus who lived his call to the full. Amen.
