BEANNÚ FLEASC AIDBHINTE
Beannaímid fleasc an tséasúir beannaithe seo, ciorcal gan briseadh de láithreacht Dé. Is geall le lámh é sínte amach go fáilteach chúinne agus chun an chine daonna. Solas é don saol go léir. Go labhra an fhleasc seo linn I gcónaí faoi Dhia atá farainn gach lá. Go n-osclaímid doirse ár gcroí do Dhia gach lá dar shaol. Go mbeannaí Dia uilechumhachtach sinn go léir, anois agus i gcaitheamh na hAidbhinte. AMEN
GUÍMIS LE CHÉILE
Soilsíonn coinneal na hAidbhinte ár gcosán in
ainneoin dorchadais an Gheimhridh. An pobal a
bhí ag siúl sa dorchadas, chonaic siad solas
mór. A Thiarna, beannaigh le do mhór-sholas
gach duine atá ag siúl sa dorchadas anocht.
Glóir don Athair, agus don Mhac, agus
don Spiorad Naomh. Mar a bhí ar dtús,
mar atá fós, agus mar a bheidh go brách,
le saol na saol. Aimean.

Our Bishop’s Statement on Murphy Report
A Phobail Dé,
I am deeply saddened and shamed by the content of the Judge Murphy report into child sexual abuse by priests in the Archdiocese of Dublin. I want to offer my sincere sympathy and regret to those who have experienced child sexual abuse, even though I realise I can never fully understand the depth of their suffering and pain. The report documents evil and criminal activity and highlights a dreadful failure to respond to it appropriately.
I renew my appeal to all who were sexually abused by clergy to come forward if they have not already done so. I assure them that they will be treated with respect and dignity.
The Diocese of Kerry is fully committed to safeguarding children and young people. We have put in place policies, procedures and personnel, in every parish, to see to it that children and young people are cared for as they participate in the various Church activities in their parish.
As we begin the season of Advent, a time of repentance and hope, I pray for healing for all who have been hurt and betrayed by the failings of the Church.
+Bill Murphy
Bishop of Kerry
Prayers of the Faithful
1. Lord, we pray for all who have been abused – that they may find healing. Lord hear us
Lord hear us
2. Lord, we pray for all in our community who care for and work with children and young people – that they may act in love at all times. Lord hear us
3. Lord, we pray for all young people – that our communities may be safe places where they dare to share their dreams, have their hopes nurtured and are allowed to grow to their full potential. Lord hear us
4. We pray for all those affected by the recent flooding throughout Ireland; that they may receive the support they need to overcome their current difficulties and for the courage and strength to rebuild their lives. Lord hear us
5. We pray in thanksgiving for the women and men of the emergency services and relief agencies; that they may continue to carry out their work safely and effectively.
Lord hear us
