Thought for the day: Being busy is a sort of cultural value among us, and rightly. “If you want something done, ask a busy person.” But, of course, the question of balance arises. There are indeed other needs and other hungers. These include simple human things like time for friends. Even hospitality, which is always work, can get in the way of really meeting. Something similar can be said of time for reflection, meditation and prayer. Time is not really the issue, after all, we manage to find time to waste on TV, tablets etc. It is more a question of insight, choice and decision, lest we overlook and even lose “the better part.” Prayer: Help us, Lord, to listen to the stirrings of our hearts. When we meet friends, help us to really meet. When we meet you, help us too to be present to you.
(Fr Kieran O’Mahony OSA)
Pope Leo XIV on X: Looking without walking by, halting the frantic pace of our lives, allowing the lives of others, whoever they may be, with their needs and troubles, to touch our heart. That is what makes us neighbours to one another, what generates true fraternity and breaks down walls and barriers.
Gluten Free hosts are available from the priest at communion time.

Prayer to Discover Your Vocation
God our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we received in baptism touch the hearts of many to offer themselves in priesthood, religious life and other forms of service.
