Thought for the day: A life without wonder would be very barren indeed. Babies are great at wonder and good communicators (in whatever field, such as nature or cosmology) have kept an almost childlike sense of discovery. Our faith, too, gets its energy from a combination of wonder, discovery and, betimes, perplexity. Some of the most inspiring passages in the Bible reflect this. For example, in Sirach 43, after an exhaustive review of the wonders of creation, the writer closes with the arresting words, We could say more but could never say enough; let the final word be: “He is the all.” (Sirach 43:27) Prayer: God of all creation, we stand before your handiwork in awe and gratitude. God of salvation, nothing can ever separate us from your love. God of our inner life, sustain our surprise!Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony OSA)
Pope Leo XIV on ‘X’: Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world. May our Mother Mary, the Queen of Peace, help us to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks’. (Is 2:4).

Creator of all, we praise you for the gift of life and for the faith that unites us in care for our common home. We confess how estranged we have become— from one another, from your Creation, and from our truest selves. We acknowledge that our greed and destructive impulses have fractured our relationships with you, with others, and with the Earth. Fertile fields have become barren, forests lie desolate, oceans and rivers are polluted. Thriving communities have become places of suffering, and the earth cries out. Amen.

Ecumenical graveyard service in St James Dingle at 7pm on September 9th, to prayerfully remember all those buried in the grounds through the centuries,
Carlo Acutis, born the 3rd of May 1991,was a British-born Italian student celebrated for his devotion to the Eucharist and his use of digital media to promote Catholic devotion. Born in London and raised in Milan, he created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions. Diagnosed with leukemia, he died at age fifteen after a short illness. He was beatified in 2020. He is regarded as a model for young believers and will be canonized as a saint on September 7th, 2025. Acutis is often referred to as the “first millennial saint”. Coverage of the ceremony will begin on RTE 1 at 10.15am.
Donate terminals, located at the back of St Mary’s Church, are programmed to donate €5 to the Parish each time they are used.
Prayer for Vocations
Blessed Trinity, Father, Son and Spirit,
we worship and praise You. Father, through the Holy Spirit you give to every Christian a unique calling as you provide and care for the needs of your people.
Hear our prayers for our needs as parish communities.
Bless our efforts to strengthen lay ministry. In our diocese and in all our parishes give to each person the grace to discern, follow and live their calling. Call forth from among us vocations to the diocesan priesthood.
Fill the hearts of our priests and deacons with renewed Peace and Joy.
Father, in all things ‘Thy will be done’.
We entrust our prayers to you through Christ our Lord. Amen.
