VOCATIONS SUNDAY: 3rd May:
Today marks the end of the nationwide Year of Vocation. In the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin we are very pleased that we will have at least two students joining the four whom we already have in formation for priesthood.
Priesthood today is a radical option. In a world which seems to struggle with the ideas of ‘calling’ the choice to study for priesthood is a dramatic witness to a belief that God knows us and holds us in the palm of His hand. And also, that He calls us into being for a definite plan to play a particular role in His loving plan for the world.
Five days of prayer for Vocations: Marriage, Single life, Priesthood, Religious life. Monday 4th May—Friday 8th May. Leaflets available at Church doors.
If you would like to explore the possibility of a vocation to priesthood please contact with our diocesan Vocations Direector, Fr. Ruairi O’Domhnaill @ 045 434069 to check out the website www.kandle.ie\vocations

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 each will respond to that call to serve You through the vocations of marriage, single life, 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 prayer through Jesus who lived his call to the full. Amen.

IT IS THE LORD
This can be said:
when we are surprised by the peace of prayer;
by the love of a friend,
by the care shown us when we need care,
by the truth that enlightens our minds
and the life that gives a lift to our hearts,
and the care that we offer to others.
It is the Lord
who takes the bread of life
and speaks the word of life
to give direction and nourishment for our journey
Jesus, the God of earth,
the God of heaven.

IT IS THE LORD
This can be said:
when we are surprised by the peace of prayer;
by the love of a friend,
by the care shown us when we need care,
by the truth that enlightens our minds
and the life that gives a lift to our hearts,
and the care that we offer to others.
It is the Lord
who takes the bread of life
and speaks the word of life
to give direction and nourishment for our journey
Jesus, the God of earth,
the God of heaven.
(Donal Neary SJ)

“Peace be with you”
Much of the unhappiness in our world today has its roots in how we see ourselves. Too often we put ourselves down and fall into the tempting trap of comparing ourselves to others. God never makes comparisons or compares us to someone else. We can never live up to be someone else but we can live up to who God created us to be. We can begin this by believing in what we have to offer. It doesn’t have to be earth shattering but our little is all that God wants. Others may demand much but never God. God always wants to extend peace to us. Can we make peace with ourselves first and in particular as we journey through these weeks of Easter? Can we let the negative and cloudy part of our past behind and move on. It is the only way forward.
‘Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have’. Doris Mortman.

“Peace be with you”
Much of the unhappiness in our world today has its roots in how we see ourselves. Too often we put ourselves down and fall into the tempting trap of comparing ourselves to others. God never makes comparisons or compares us to someone else. We can never live up to be someone else but we can live up to who God created us to be. We can begin this by believing in what we have to offer. It doesn’t have to be earth shattering but our little is all that God wants. Others may demand much but never God. God always wants to extend peace to us. Can we make peace with ourselves first and in particular as we journey through these weeks of Easter? Can we let the negative and cloudy part of our past behind and move on. It is the only way forward.
‘Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have’. Doris Mortman.

Sheep and Lambs
All in the April morning,
April airs were abroad;
Sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road.
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road;
All in an April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.
The lambs were weary and crying
With a weak human cry;
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.
Up in the blue, blue mountains
Dewy pastures are sweet:
Rest for the little bodies,
Rest for the little feet.
Rest for the Lamb of God,
Up on the hill-top green;
Only a cross of shame
Two stark crosses between.
All in the April evening,
April airs were abroad;
I saw the sheep with their little lambs
And I thought on the Lamb of God.

Sheep and Lambs
All in the April morning,
April airs were abroad;
Sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road.
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road;
All in an April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.
The lambs were weary and crying
With a weak human cry;
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.
Up in the blue, blue mountains
Dewy pastures are sweet:
Rest for the little bodies,
Rest for the little feet.
Rest for the Lamb of God,
Up on the hill-top green;
Only a cross of shame
Two stark crosses between.
All in the April evening,
April airs were abroad;
I saw the sheep with their little lambs
And I thought on the Lamb of God.
