Divine Mercy Sunday Séipéal Naomh Uinseann, Baile an Fheirtéaraigh 1ú Bealtaine 2011 at 3pm. Fáilte roimh cách.
Beatification of John Paul II
This Sunday – Divine Mercy Sunday, May 1st – will see the beatification of Pope John Paul II in Rome. Many Irish people will remember his visit to our country in 1979 when he encouraged and strengthened us in our faith and made an appeal for peace in Northern Ireland. When he was elected, his vigour, strength and charisma made an immediate impression. His experiences during the Second World War and in Communist Poland made him a champion of human rights and his witness undoubtedly helped lead to the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. He was a missionary Pope who visited more countries and met more people than any previous pontiff. His rapport with young people will be especially remembered who recognised in him someone who spoke with integrity and conviction.
The foundation of the public aspects of his ministry of teaching, governing and building up the Church was a profound spiritual life. Pope John Paul II was greatly influenced by Carmelite spirituality and had a deep devotion to Our Lady. His Papal motto –Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) reflects that Marian devotion.
With his beatification, Pope John Paul II will be known as ‘Blessed John Paul II’ and his feast-day will be celebrated in Rome and Poland. The opening prayer of the Mass for that feast-day makes reference to two of his encyclicals – Dives in Misericordia (Rich in Mercy) and Redemptor Hominis (The Redeemer of Mankind).
O God, who are rich in mercy
and who willed that the Blessed John Paul II
should preside as Pope over your universal Church,
grant, we pray, that instructed by his teaching,
we may open our hearts to the saving grace of Christ,
the sole Redeemer of mankind.
Who lives and reign with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever, Amen.
Prayer for Vocations
Through the intercession of John Paul II may each of us answer the call to holiness. May the Men and Women called to priesthood and religious life have the courage to “Yes”.

Parthas
A Chiaráin, Íosa, Muire agus Seosamh
leat, inne, inniu, anocht, amárach.
Go síoraí. Íosa, Muire agus Seosamh
Leat, ag gol, ag gáirí leat, a Chiaráin,
ag smaoineamh ort i bhFlaitheas
an chine dhaonna, i bParthas.
An clog ag bualadh a sé ar maidin,
Anam Chiaráin aiséirithe
le hÍosa, Muire agus Seosamh
i bhFlaitheas Dé, Parthas.
Deireadh agus Tús
An Dá Aiséirí.
Ach tá
an Bás
cosúil leis an mBreith.
Fágaimid slán lena chéile,
ach ní go brách.
Dheineamar gol de ló is d’oíche.
Anois na súile tirim agus deora silte.
Spalladh anama orainn.
Beadsa ag faire amach daoibh
más féidir –
Geallaimse daoibh sna focail seo
sa chlapsholas. (Míchéal Ó Fionnáin: 1954 –2010)
Bealtaine in Kerry
“Bealtaine” meaning “May” is a time of great importance as it ushers in the welcomed summer with its sun, heat, bright long days and growth. The Gaelic word means the mouth “béal” of the fire “tine”. A further interpretation indicates that béal refers to the Phoenician god Baal whom the ancient Semitic peoples regarded as local deities who were authors of the soil’s fertility and of the increase of flocks. A North Kerry custom recalls how the young Ballyheigue men would leap through the May Eve bonfire. Another celtic custom of this night is that of driving cattle through the same fire in an ancient ritual of cleansing and preparing to drive them on to meadows on the first Sunday of May. Glenstall monk Seán Ó Duinn tells about “the Rites of Bealtaine among the Celts” Ó Duinn states that while the Roman and Germanic peoples loved stability the Celts preferred movement picturing an image of the driving of cattle between the two fires “idir dhá thine Bhealtaine”. Furthermore, he explains that the practice of buailteachas followed i.e. taking the cows to the hills for summer grazing showing the theme of dynamic seasonal movement following the sacred ritual. (Danaher 1972:96-100)
