Thought for the Day: In John’s Gospel, the first thing that any human being says of Jesus is found on the lips of John the Baptist: Look, there is the Lamb of God. We think naturally and correctly of the Passover lamb and of the Passover, the feast which marks the liberation of Israel. To be set free is a wonderful experience and we could reflect on how I experience my freedom in Christ. From what have I been set free? (For example, fear of death, the risk of absurdity, sins and false directions in life…) Even more important, for what have I been set free? Prayer: Jesus, Lamb of God, help me to recognise whatever in me is holding me back from life in abundance: give me your life, your forgiveness, your healing. In you, I put my trust. Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony)

Work has begun this week on the Refurbishment of St Mary’s Church, Dingle. The work will involve replacing the roof lights (glass) in the body of the Church and over the Altar. The Bell tower will be re-roofed, and about one eight of the roof copper including the copper guttering will be replaced. It is hoped that the work will stop the leaks that have become an increasing reality in recent years. During the work we will have access to part of the church at weekends only. The work is scheduled to be complete by mid-May 2026. Requiem Masses will take place in either St John the Baptist Church, Lispole or Séipéal Naomh Caitlín, Fionn Trá during these months. Mass on Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday will be held in the Church. The cost of this phase of work is in the region of €1.5million. “It is through the generosity of the people of the parish and the careful stewardship by the Finance Committees over time that the work is possible. We thank you for your patience during this time.
Pope Leo XIV on X: My thoughts turn to the situation currently unfolding in the Middle East, especially in Iran and Syria, where ongoing tensions continue to claim many lives. I hope and pray that dialogue and peace may be patiently nurtured in
pursuit of the common good of the whole of society.
The Pope’s Intention for January: For Prayer with the Word of God. Let us pary that praying with the Word of God be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.
