Advent Pastoral Letter from Bishop Bill Murphy
The letter entitled Together in Hope is a summary of the findings from the listening exercise conducted during the year throughout the diocese. Four main themes emerged at these gatherings: Clerical Child Sexual Abuse; Church Structures; Understandings of Church and Faith; and Young People. A copy of the letter is available as Gaeilge agus as Béarla at the back of the three Parish churches and on the diocesan website on www.dioceseofkerry.ie
Prayers of the Faithful:
In these challenging times we pray for our political leaders, that God will provide them with wisdom and courage in their task of guiding our nation.
Lord, hear us.
As we celebrate Advent, a time when we are reminded of God’s love and concern for each one of us, we pray that all who are faced with challenges will find hope in the knowledge that God is with us. Lord, hear us.
We pray for all those whose lives have been destroyed as a result of clerical child sexual abuse. Lord, hear us.
We pray for the church that it might be a place marked by the values of God’s kingdom, a place of honesty, justice, openness, and compassion.
Lord, hear us.
An Aidbhint 2010
We ask God’s blessing on our Jesse tree, reminding us of our ancestors before Christ, the Son of David.
We read in sacred scripture:
‘A shoot will spring from the stock of Jesse, a new shoot will grow. On him will rest the spirit of Yahweh’.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, bless this tree, a reminder to us of your covenanted love, shown to your people, our ancestors, through the events of history in ancient times. May your son Christ, the shoot of Jesse, the true vine, invigorate us with his life, so that we may become his living branches in our world today. Amen.
Dingle Parish Pastoral Council reviewed our Misean an Phobail 2010 and reiterate our sincere gratitude to our visiting Mission team and all of you who helped both plan and then participate in our Mission. For your information 240 children were personally invited by way of the beautiful Madonna and Child (Harry Clarke) An Díseart postcard for the Blessing Ceremony. Some 65 groups were contacted by letter in advance to take part in our Closing Ceremony and among them were 13 sporting organisations (across 10 disciplines) of whom only 3 did not take part on that night.
The P.P.C. has decided to present the Crib offerings from Naomh Muire, Naomh Caitlín agus Naomh Eoin Baiste to local foreign missionaries Fr. Tommy Lynch in India and his brother Fr. Danny Lynch in Paraguay. Both work with the world’s poorest in their Divine Word Missions.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Holy Day of Obligation
We celebrate Mary, who from the first instant of her existence in the womb of her mother Anne was ‘by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved free from all stain of original sin’. We give praise to God, font of grace and source of Mary’s holiness, as we honour her today.
Genesis 3:9-15, 20.
This selection from Genesis carries the reassurance that in spite of sin the human race is not to be written off. It is the story of disobedience and of sin but this is not the whole story. Fear and shame are the signs of sin and so Adam and Eve hide from God. Yet, despite their sin, they are still chosen by God and ‘Eve’ is called ‘mother of all the living’.
Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12
From the beginning of time we were chosen by God. St. Paul tells us that before the world was made, God chose us in Christ. We are reminded that by virtue of our baptism we are chosen and set free from sin. The chosen of God belong to him. All of this is part of God’s great plan of salvation – a plan, in which Mary plays a pivotal role.
Luke 1:26-38
The focus of the reading is on the conception of Jesus, not Mary. This is all part of God’s planning and preparation. Mary, in her conversation with the angel (God’s messenger), is questioning, yet, she remains open and accepting compared to Eve in the Genesis story who is blaming others and defensive. Mary’s words are of willingness to allow God act in and through her. As a result, her child is holy, the work of God and the new creation. She becomes the ‘new Eve’. Mary is truly blessed – Luke who is writing after the death, resurrection and glorification of Christ, sees in Mary the agent and vehicle of God’s new creation – she will bring forth “he who is God’s promised one, who will save his people from their sins”.

A Mhuire Mháthair, ‘sé seo mo ghuí,
Go maire Íosa go deo im’ chroí.
Avé Maria, mo ghrá, avé,
Is tusa mo mháthair, is máthair Dé.
A Mhuire Mháthair ‘tá lán de ghrást’,
Go raibh tú taobh liom ar uair mo bháis.
Avé Maria, mo ghrá, avé,
Is tusa mo mháthair, is máthair Dé.

D’fhonn a beith in ann toiliú saorálach a creidimh a thabhairt don ghairm a bhí fógartha di, is amhlaidh ba ghá di grásta Dé ina thaca aici. Caiticiosma na hEaglaise Caitlicí
