FEAST OF ST. BRIGID
Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Brigid, patron of our diocese. We also celebrate the end of the first Catholic Schools Week in t his country.

She was a woman who gave witness to her faith by her welcome, generosity and care for all with whom she came in contact. Our Catholic schools continue that tradition today. They are places of welcome, hospitality and inclusivity where the light of faith burns brightly and our children are helped to understand what it means to be people of faith.
We give thanks today for the faith and inspiration of St. Brigid and for all the people in our Catholic schools who are beacons of light and faith in our world today.

“You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you”.
Through his baptism by John the Baptist at the waters of the Jordan, Jesus had a deep experience of being loved and blessed by the father. He heard the words “you are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you”. He was now given his mission to proclaim the Kingdom of God.
Through our baptism, we have all become God’s beloved sons and daughters. God’s favour rests on us and God invites us to walk in the path of life. As we hear in today’s first reading: “Come to the water all you who are thirsty. Come to me: listen and your soul shall live”.

A PRAYER FOR THE HOME
God of mercy and compassion,
You gave your Son a loving home
with Mary and Joseph.
Together they learned to be a family with all the challenges
and rewards that sharing a home can bring.
May their story inspire and give courage to all those
who share a home together.
May we, in our home, always try to be patient with each other.
Help us to love and cherish one another and to be ready
to forgive one another daily.
May our home be a place of welcome for all who come our way.
Amen.

A PRAYER FOR THE HOME
God of mercy and compassion,
You gave your Son a loving home
with Mary and Joseph.
Together they learned to be a family with all the challenges
and rewards that sharing a home can bring.
May their story inspire and give courage to all those
who share a home together.
May we, in our home, always try to be patient with each other.
Help us to love and cherish one another and to be ready
to forgive one another daily.
May our home be a place of welcome for all who come our way.
Amen.
St. Vincent de Paul Society. Anyone wishing to contact the above
society please call our new number
on 083 3478914.
