Thought for the day: The cultural dismissal of faith as illusory consolation or opium has left its mark on us all. Is it all projection? Has God truly spoken and revealed God’s self? In Christian faith, our response is a resounding yes and, while we should be wary of facile solace, at the same time we should not deny ourselves the good and wholesome reassurance of faith. After all, one of the most repeated phrases throughout the Bible is “Do not the afraid” (though not in John, curiously). There are grounds for fear; but we, of all people, should not be overwhelmed by the negative. Prayer: Lord Jesus, risen from the dead, guide us to listen deeply to your voice, your word, that we may know you and, that knowing you, we may enjoy life in abundance, now and into eternity with you. Amen.
Míle buíochas to all who have returned the Spring and Easter Dues Envelopes and Trócaire Boxes. If you have not yet returned them, you can do so by placing them in the offertory collection or in the building fund boxes at the back of the churches. We would greatly appreciate if they could be returned in the next few weeks. NB: If paying by cheque please make it payable to Teach na Sagart for the Dues and Dingle Parish for Trócaire. Trócaire received to date €6,619.00. Míle buíochas.
