We Come to Your Feast

We place upon your table
a humble loaf of bread,

We come to taste the Presence

with the fruit of our lands
and the work of our hands,

“My grace is enough for you:
My power is at it’s best in weakness”
(Second Reading)

FROM FAILURE UP
Can a man grow from the dead clod of failure
Some consoling flower
Something humble as a dandelion or a daisy,
Something to wear as a buttonhole in Heaven?
Under the flat, flat grief of defeat maybe
Hope is a seed.
Maybe this’s what he was born for, this hour
Of hopelessness.
Maybe it is here he must search
In this hell of unfaith
Where no one has a purpose
Where the web of Meaning is broken threads
And one man looks at another in fear.
O God can a man find You when he lies with his face downwards
And his nose in the rubble that was his achievement?
Is the music playing behind the door of despair?
O God give us purpose.
Patrick Kavanagh

“And the wind dropped
and all was calm again”
We can relate to the feelings of the disciples in the boat in today’s Gospel story. There are times when we, too, can feel overcome by fear, worry or anxiety. But just as he calmed the wind and sea, so the Lord calms our fears and anxiety. His presence is always with us, and he will grant us all the strength and courage we need to guide us daily on our pilgrim journey.

“THIS IS MY BODY”
Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to his friends saying:
Take this all of you and eat it
This is my body which is given for you
For life and health and happiness
This is my body, my blood, life pumping around by body for you
This meal is my day’s work for you
This is my sweat for you
This meal is a reminder that I was taken from heaven, blessed with a family and friends, broken on the cross and given for you so you will be taken, blessed, broken like bread and given for others
For life, for love.
This meal, this sacrifice of self for others was always about love, never duty or obligation
Love—unconditional love.

NEW PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL: We welcome the formation of our new Parish Pastoral Council and thank the members sincerely for the training they have undergone over the past few months. The parish pastoral council is a leadership group through which priests and people work together as partners in furthering the mission of Christ in our own place. It does this through building up a vibrant Christian community that is rooted in baptism and marked by its faith, worship and service.
The primary ministry of the parish pastoral council is to collaborate in planning the way forward for the parish at this given time. It is primarily concerned with promoting action through pastoral planning; it is not immediately responsible for implementation of projects but ensures that the projects are carried out. In this way the council enables members of the parish to recognise their gifts for ministry and to use them for the good of the parish and its mission.
In our prayers today we wish the Council well and we look forward to working together for the benefit of all. Sr. Elizabeth Murphy, Br. Camillus Regan, Sr. Mary Dalton, Helen Cooper, Catherine Rooney, Geraldine Byrne, Martin O’Halloran, Larry Kavanagh, James Orbinski, Martin Savage, Seamus Murphy, Christy McQuinn, Eileen Good.
