Thought for the day: Inclusivity and inclusion are buzz words in our culture. We find the radical openness of Jesus very helpful today, as we try to see the future of the Christian project. St Paul himself has been called the “founder of universalism” (Alain Badiou). Two comments may help us reflect. Firstly, not everyone is guided by this vision, the evidence for “exclusivism” is all around us. Secondly, in the Christian vision, respect for all is grounded not only in creation (“image and likeness of God”) but also in salvation (“God wants all people to be saved”). Both dimensions are important for Jesus, for Paul and for us today.
Prayer: God of mercy, your love reaches out to all without distinction. As we have experienced your compassion, may we show the same love to all.Amen.
(Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Leo XIV on ‘X’: No one should be forced to flee, nor exploited or mistreated because of their situation as foreigners or people in need! Human dignity must always come first!

We are asked to pray for the Pre-Synodal Assembly that will take place in Kilkenny, Saturday, October 18th. This gathering builds on the Spring Gatherings (February-May 2025), when communities across Ireland came together to consider how the Holy Spirit is speaking through the emerging proposals and themes and identify priorities for action. The reflections and priorities gathered were prayerfully considered by the National Synodal Team. Now, in Kilkenny, we take the next step by coming together nationally to deepen that listening and begin shaping concrete pathways for renewal.
