Thought for the day: According to the song, “the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.” In our better moments, we all know this to be the truth about our human being. For believers, it is no surprise that the very thing we need most stands at the centre of the Christian faith: God is love. The match between our need and God’s disclosure is perfect. If we took that really to heart, many things would change: our practice of prayer, our relationships, our joy in believing, our way of sharing our faith, our living of discipleship. All we need is love. The astonishing servant love of God in Jesus is exactly what we most need. Prayer: You are love itself and yet we hesitate. Open our inner selves to your gracious loving, that we may ourselves be loved and being loved we may learn to love in return. 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 €6,841.00. Míle buíochas.
Tap to Donate terminals, at the back of St Mary’s Church, are programmed to donate €5 to the Parish each time they are used.
