Thought for the day: Which of us is not in need of some kind of healing? The healing touch of Jesus reaches out to all in need: the physically ill, the mentally disturbed, the addicts, the bereaved, the lonely, the distraught, the stressed, the sinners. He desires our well-being, that we might be fully alive and experience life in abundance. Prayer: I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16–19) Fr K. O’Mahony OSA.

Thank you for the generous donation from the Christmas Crib. It will be used to help us continue our Meals on Wheels service.

‘Dear Fr Michael, please pass on my thanks to all in Dingle parish who contributed so generously to this crib collection. It really is so generous and kind of everyone and I am so grateful to be included as one of your causes this year. I have seen such strength, resilience and kindness over the past few months, it has been just amazing. It has been such a challenging year for so many people, your donation will allow us to continue to support those who need us most during this incredibly difficult time. My deepest thanks to all in the parish for their kindness and may God bless and keep all of you safe and well in the months ahead.’ Sr. Stan.
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
