Thought for the Day: Tracing origins has always been of interest and nowadays it is possible to have a sample of your DNA tested to find out what kind of genetic mix you are. It can lead to surprises! Jesus also had shadows in his genealogy, as is normal. There is hope, too, in the ancestors: God can write straight with our crooked lines. The shadows are not simply in our past, somehow in others, but in each of us as well. But the great message of the Gospel is that our past does not always have to stalk us, there is total forgiveness and even amnesia in God: I, I am the one who blots out your rebellious deeds for my sake; your sins I do not remember. (Isa 43:25) Prayer: Help us to accept from you, God, a new name, a new reality in Christ that we may know your forgiveness and love and be set free from our past sins and faults. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Ideal Christmas Gift: The Exile’s Return, by Fr Pat McCarthy is an original song which has been composed and recorded as a tribute to the victorious Kerry team and management. CD’s at €10 are available from the Parish Office.
Vocations: ‘Just as John the Baptist answered the call to be a “voice in the wilderness” to “prepare a way for the Lord”, we pray for those in our society who are called to be the voice in the wilderness of our modern society by living their lives in service as a priest, deacon or religious.’ If interested in becoming a Priest, contact Fr Michael.

Christmas Crib Appeal 2022. Míle buíochas to all who have put up the Cribs in our three Parish Churches. This year your Crib donations will again go to the Cara Project in Kenya. The funds donated last year to Cara, helped young girls who have suffered terribly, are often orphaned and frequently pregnant from assault. Every Euro given helps build a future for these girls; food, clothing, education and employment. Your support for the Cara projects in Kenya is greatly appreciated. One girl has written of their experience in Kenya. The full letter can be read on our website, dingleparish.ie

Oiche Nollaig
Le coinnle na n-aingeal tá an spéir amuigh breactha, Tá fiacail an tseaca sa ghaoith ón gcnoc, Adaigh an tine is téir chun na leapan,
Luífidh Mac Dé ins an tigh seo anocht.
(Máire Mhac an tSaoi)
