April 7th Notes

DEATH of Pope John Paul 11 on Saturday evening April 2nd on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday brought back many memories of the Popes life and work. When he solemnly consecrated the World to the Divine Mercy Pope John Paul said "Apart from the mercy of God there is no other hope for mankind". For most of us his visit to Ireland was the highlight of our lives, the Irish showed their affection for the first Pope to visit our country by flocking to meet him and decorate streets and houses with appropriate flags. It would be nice if the Churches and local libraries had a display of memorabilia on the life of our much loved Pope John Paul 11. The Pope was human like ourselves and will need our prayers and he in turn will intercede for us in our journey through life.

FAITH: And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?' Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me!' Isaiah 6:8 ; It is through working together, praying together and planning together that we discover our respective roles as Christians. Today's parish needs the participation and the involvement of all whereas in the past, much parish activity revolved around what the priest did. Collaboration between priests and parishioners is not about ‘helping the priest'. Collaboration recognises, uses and celebrates the gifts God has given each of us, for the service of all e.g. parish pastoral councils, weeks of directed prayer and liturgy groups, taken from Parish newsletter.
