“They all ate as much as they wanted”.
The crowds who followed Jesus in today’s Gospel were nourished in body and soul. We too are nourished each time we gather around the Lord’s table.
We are nourished by His Word: - “Pay attention, come to me; listen, and your soul shall live” (1st reading).
We are nourished by His love:- “Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ” (2nd reading).
We are nourished by the gift of His body and blood: “you open wide your hand, grant the desires of all who live” (Resp. Psalm).
As we return to our homes and community, we pray that as we have been nourished, we can be bread for each other:-
The Bread of hope.
The Bread of love.
The Bread of life.

RISKS

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas your dreams, before a crowd is to
risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing and is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, change, grow, love or live. Chained by their attitude they are slaves, they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free.

CHILDMINDER AVAILABLE.
Babies, toddlers and after schools. Tullow area. Phone 087 6155700.

20th July, 2008. Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

PEACE
And sometimes I am sorry when the grass
Is growing over the stones in quiet hollows
And the cocksfoot leans across the rutted cart-pass
That I am not the voice of country fellows
Who now are standing by some headland talking
Of turnips and potatoes or young corn
Or turf banks stripped for victory.
Here peace is still hawking
His coloured combs and scarves and beads of horn.
Upon a headland by a whinny hedge
A hare sits looking down a leaf-lapped furrow
There’s an old plough upside-down on a weedy ridge
And someone is shouldering home a saddle-harrow.
Out of that childhood country what fools climb
To fight with tyrants Love and Life and Time?

Patrick Kavanagh (1904—1967)

A creed for the sowing of seeds.
“I believe that the Word of God has many times been planted in my life, often because of another who received the seed in ready soil, brought forth a harvest and shared that goodness with me.

I believe that great things can come from even the tiniest seed planted in love and cared for tenderly in the heart of another.

I believe that only God knows what sprouting will come from the Word planted through my life. I am content in knowing that I have tried, with the Sower’s grace, to seed that Word in faith and love”.
Joyce Rupp.

BICENTENARY

We say a sincere thank you to the Patrician Brothers for their faithful, generous service through the years in their teaching, charity and witness to the Gospel.
As we continue to try to live out the call of the Gospel in our everyday lives, these words of Daniel Delany have much to say to us today:
“Love God and live together in peace and charity”.
“Bloom where you are planted”.
“Do everything in a spirit of holy love and you will
not find your hands empty at journey’s end”
