THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST 25TH DEC.

 

Thank You – ‘Míle Buíochas’

 

As we celebrate Christmas and bring the year 2023 to a close, I feel that I’m very privileged and indeed it is my honour to continue working with you as your Parish Priest here in Listowel. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for the support that you give to your Parish and to me personally throughout the year. It takes a lot of people to make a Parish active and to keep it going in these difficult and challenging times. It could not happen only that we are blessed with good staff, Parish Secretary Denise and both sacristans Helen and Martina and a lot of volunteers who are dedicated to our Parish. Many of you work behind the scenes and you might feel your work sometimes goes unnoticed, but each person in their own right play their part, and each does it so well. A special thanks to Fr. Martin, Fr. Jack, Fr. Brendan & Fr. Anthony of our Pastoral Area.

 

 

 

I thank the Parish Finance Council who keeps an eye on the Parish Finances. I thank the Parish Pastoral Council and the Safeguarding Committee for their support and guidance. Thanks to the Parish Liturgy Group who co-ordinate the various ministries and liturgies. The Eucharistic Ministers / Parish Youth Group /  the Readers, the Collectors, the Counting Teams who count the parish offerings, the Parish Choir, the Parish Folk Group, their members, their directors and musicians. We are blessed to have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament weekly in our Parish. Thank you all who make it possible. We have the Padre Pio Prayer Group & Legion of Mary who run their regular meetings - I’m not forgetting our Altar Servers, their parents and teachers for their support. You all do a great job, and your help is much appreciated.

 

 

 

To those who clean the church - not alone is this done for Christmas, but it is done quietly all year around. Those who donate flowers and look after both inside and outside the church and Presbytery grounds throughout the year. So many visitors remark on how well each place looks. This is a tribute to you, so take a bow. To those of you who put up the Crib and those who are available at moments notice  to do the various maintenance jobs of the Parish throughout the year.

 

 

 

We are dependent on each other for friendship, support, and finance. Thank you for your generosity and kindness to your Parish and to me personally right throughout the year. I pray that God will bless and reward you and your family with all his gifts this Christmas and throughout the new year of 2024.

 

 

 

   God Bless                                                                             Fr. Declan

Among other points are:

 

-Commitment to wider community prayer beyond the celebration of Mass (p.8m)

IRISH ARCHBISHOPS URGE CESSATION OF VIOLENCE IN THE HOLY LAND, RESPECT OF CIVILIAN POPULATIONS AND RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. The four archbishops of the metropolitan provinces of Ireland: Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, Archbishop Dermot Farrell of Dublin, Archbishop Kieran O’Reilly SMA of Cashel & Emly, and Archbishop Francis Duffy of Tuam, have published a joint statement in response to the large scale killings, injuries and violence that have occurred in Israel and Gaza since 7 October. The Archbishops said, “over the past days we have watched with shock and dismay the events that have unfolded in the land of the birth of Our Lord.  The ongoing situation has caused great suffering to many innocent people on all sides in the present conflict.  The loss of innocent lives together with the large numbers of innocent people injured in the Holy Land is a great affront to a lasting peace.  Unfortunately, the present crisis does not augur well for the immediate future as many more may endure destruction and death.

From the Parish Pastoral Council meeting of Sept. 5th, the following items emerged:

 

On the departure of Grace Leahy, as Sacristan, from Knockanure, a temporary arrangement has been agreed and will be subject to on-going review.  We are grateful for Grace’s services over the years and wish her every blessing.

 

 

 

Currently, new members of the Parish Pastoral Council are being selected: if you have anybody in mind (not yourself) who you think might be right, please let Fr. Brendan know.

 

 

 

On instruction from the diocese, after inquiry, church buildings should be used for religious services and for specifically religious events only.  Anything else needs diocesan approval.

 

 

 

Confirmation this year should, it was agreed, include celebration of the Eucharist.  Taking a pledge will be a separate issue.

 

 

 

The Knockanure Pathway Committee plans to develop a walkway from the village to the GAA grounds.  As it will pass through the church parking lot, its feasibility is a matter for the diocese.

Just a Thought

 

When we describe someone as a fiery person, we usually see them in a negative way. It implies that the person is hot tempered, moody and unpredictable.

 

 

 

Then when we use the words ‘fired up’ it is normally used in a positive way. We get fired up before a match or something important in our lives.

 

 

 

When we use the words ‘fired up’ in connection with God, it is also positive. It means that we are enthusiastic and upbeat in what we believe in. We feel that our faith is helpful, positive and something good in our lives. It fires us up, to help us get through any given day.

 

 

 

Our fire may sometimes be weak and barely noticeable, while at other times we have boundless energy and enthusiasm. There is no right or wrong place to be when it comes to faith matters. But anything that gives us hope, energy and positivity can only be a good thing. Hopefully today and throughout this week you will find hope, energy and positivity. Even if it comes in small bundles, we welcome them with open arms.                         James McSweeney

SEASON OF CREATION 2023 The Season of Creation is marked throughout the Christian world from 1 September to 4 October (Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi) and celebrates the gift and beauty of God’s creation and encourages initiatives to protect our Common Home.

As Christians we are called to join the river of justice and peace, to take up climate and ecological justice, and to speak out with and for communities most impacted by climate injustice and the loss of biodiversity.

Just a Thought

 

NOTHING is as contagious as an EXAMPLE. We never do great food or great evil without bringing about more of the same on the part of others. At onetime or another, in great ways or small you are an example, a role model, even and inspiration for others. This is true even when you’re unaware of the impact you are having. You make a difference by the way you handle personal crisis, treat a child, do your job, and spend your spare time. It’s natural that most people influence family and friends, neighbours, and co-workers. But it doesn’t end there. Touch one person’s life and countless others are affected. Young people in particular are likely to imitate not just what others say, but what they do. Whether you’re young or old sick or healthy, rich, or poor, you can be an example for good in the way you live your life. It is important to recognise your value. You can make the world a better place for having been in it.                         Ann Conroy

JUST A THOUGHT

 

Recently, we celebrated the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and traditionally most homes displaced an image in a central place within their home.  We know physically the heart is a muscle and it is a central and vital organ within our body. Every cell in our body relies on the work of our heart. Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. What an amazing organ within our body. So, if our heart is central to life and being alive, then it comes as no surprise that the image of the Sacred Heart has been given to Jesus.  He is the one who has tremendous love for us.  No heart has loved more than the heart of Jesus. He loves us in ways that no words can describe. His love for us reminds us beautifully how we are precious, special and unique. Nothing will ever change his beautiful love of us.

 

 

 

The beautiful short prayer: “O Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you” must surely be one of the most beautiful prayers we have. So, when prayer is difficult or challenging all we have to do is whisper the beautiful words: “O Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you.”

 

 

 

They can be our first words in the morning, our last words at night, our words when we are afraid or worried, our words as we think of a loved one, our words when we hear bad news, our words when we are standing in a queue, our words before we receive Holy Communion, our words when we are grateful for blessings received

 

 

 

And so, let’s celebrate Jesus as our shepherd as the one who is always looking after us.  Be proud to display his image in your home. What a beautiful reminder of God’s love for you.

 

O Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you.

 

 

 

Fr. Declan

JUST A THOUGHT

 

‘For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.’ ~ Matthew 6:21

 

There are different meanings to the word treasure. It can mean wealth such as money, jewels or precious metals like gold all stored up and hoarded away. It can also mean something of great worth or value or someone who is rare and precious. Jesus used both meanings to get across an important message. He says there is little to be gained by storing up lots of treasure in the form of money and wealth. Trying to mind it brings worry and stress and it is well known that lots of money does not guarantee happiness. Instead, Jesus reminds us that real treasure is to be found within. We have a most beautiful line that Jesus shared: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” When a person is full of kindness, love, generosity and shares lots of blessings they are such a treasure.  And we know it too. We sometimes say of a person: “They are such a treasure.” What a beautiful complement. Jesus was a man full of wisdom. He knew so well that many people were searching in the wrong place for happiness. Getting rich and wealthy is no guarantee of happiness. So many still search in the wrong place for happiness today. The key message is that real treasure is to be found within. Can you go within to find your treasure? Can you begin to believe in your goodness, in your kindness, in your love and in the beautiful difference you make to our world each day? Because if you can, you have found real treasure!

He knew so well that many people were searching in the wrong place for happiness. Getting rich and wealthy is no guarantee of happiness. So many still search in the wrong place for happiness today.

 

The key message is that real treasure is to be found within. Can you go within to find your treasure? Can you begin to believe in your goodness, in your kindness, in your love and in the beautiful difference you make to our world each day? Because if you can, you have found real treasure!

JUST A THOUGHT

 

 

 

‘Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it or work around it.’ ~Michael Jordan

 

JK Rowling is one of the world’s bestselling children’s authors. She has written all the Harry Potter books. But it wasn’t an easy journey at first. Her first book is called ‘The Philosopher’s Stone’. It was rejected by twelve different publishing companies. But one small publisher called Bloomsbury decided to give the book a go. The reason the editor Barry Cunningham took the book on, was that he had given the first chapter to his eight-year-old daughter to have a read and she loved it. It was enough for him to print it and the book simply became an international best seller.

 

 

 

JK Rowling went through lots of rejection, but it was her inner strength and her belief in her own work that kept her going and gave her the confidence not to give up. Jesus in our Gospel stories also talked about rejection, about negativity in our world and about difficult times we all go through. In the middle of all of this he says we will find an inner strength that will get us through the difficulties and challenges that we will have to face.

 

 

 

It is our firm belief that our faith and believing in something gives us this inner strength and is sometimes called resilience. It gives us the hope and the courage to keep going. The author JK Rowling could so easily have given up, but she kept going because she believed in what she was about. Jesus also encourages us to keep going and to believe in what we are about. It’s not easy when life is tough and difficult, but we all have an inner strength to keep us going. We are invited to believe in this inner strength and it will keep us going when it matters most.                                       James McSweeney
