Eucharistic Adoration
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is a form of Eucharistic cult which is particularly widespread in the Church and earnestly recommended to her Pastors and faithful. Its initial form derives from Holy Thursday and the altar of repose, following the celebration of the Coena Domini Mass. This adoration is a most apt way of expressing the connection between the celebration of the memorial of the Lord’s Sacrifice and his continued presence in the Sacrament of the Altar. The reservation of the Sacred Species, so as to be able to administer Viaticum to the sick at any time, encouraged the practice among the faithful of recollection before the tabernacle and to worship Christ present in the Sacrament.

Indeed, this worship of adoration has a sound and firm foundation, especially since faith in the Lord’s real presence has as its natural consequence the outward and public manifestation of that belief. Therefore, the devotion prompting the faithful to visit the Blessed Sacramant draws them into an ever-deeper share in the paschal mystery and leads them to respond gratefully to the gift of him who through his humanity constantly pours divine life into the members of his Body. Abiding with Christ the Lord, they enjoy his intimate friendship and pour out their hearts before him for themselves and for those dear to them and they pray for the peace and salvation of the world. Offering their entire lives with Christ to the Father in the Holy Spirit, they derive from this sublime colloquy an increase of faith, hope and charity. Thus they foster those right dispositions that enable them with due devotion to celebrate the memorial of the Lord and receive frequently the bread given us by the Father.                    Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy

The Pope’s Intentions for August

Universal: Sports That sports may be an opportunity for friendly encounters between peoples and may contribute to peace in the world.

Evangelisation: Living the Gospel That Christians may live the Gospel, giving witness to faith, honesty, and love of neighbour.

 

To Save Us
God our Father,
who send your Son Jesus Christ into the world
not to judge it but to save it,
listen to our prayer:

By giving us your Son, you offer each of us
your light for our darkness,
your joy for our sadness,
your bread to nourish our life,
and your life to overcome our death.

Open our hearts to your word and your grace
so that we may recognise
in you our Father, who calls us by our name,
in your Son, our Saviour and brother,
and in your Spirit, the love which unites us.

And while our lips sing your praise,
bring our hearts close to you,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

The First-Born of Many Brothers
Lord Jesus, you came among us
the first-born of many brothers.

You have walked upon our earth,
you have eaten our bread,
your eyes have seen our light,
your smile has lit up our faces,
and our tears have dampened your eyes.
We pray to you:

Because you became like us
in all things except sin,
make us like you in grace.

Send us your Holy Spirit
that he may fashion us for eternity.
May your Father recognise your voice in our prayer.
May he say to each one of us:
“This is my Son, my beloved:
My favor rests on him!”

Listen to us, Lord:
we are your Church,
we are your Body, and flesh of your flesh.
You are our God and our brother,
forever and ever. Amen!    (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

The Needs of the Diocese

Bishop Cullinan has written this week to remind us of the Needs of the Diocese.

Many existing services like Family Ministry, Cura (which offers crisis pregnancy counselling and post-abortion counselling) have to be maintained and developed.  New services like the development of Glencomeragh (mentioned in last weeks Newsletter) will require funding.

Here in St. Oliver’s Parish, people who take the box of weekly envelopes will have already made their contribution.  People who do not have the box of envelopes can use the other envelopes provided near the Church entrances.  There is no need to put a name and address on the envelopes.

The Bishop expresses his thanks for the on-going generosity of the people of the diocese. He is also aware that people coming to Church are often confronted by other groups who have a Garda Siochana permit to collect near Churches. There are many deserving causes but, if not known, collectors should be asked to show a permit.

The Pope’s Intentions for July

Universal: Indigenous Peoples That indigenous peoples, whose identity and very existence are threatened, will be shown due respect.

Evangelisation: Latin America and the Caribbean That the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean, by means of her mission to the continent, may announce the Gospel with renewed vigour and enthusiasm.

 

A New Departure
Some people in our parish are familiar with Glencomeragh, Kilsheelan where the Institute of Charity (Rosminians) has had a Retreat House for many years.

Bishop Cullinan has announced recently that Glencomeragh has now been given to the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore and a new work will start there in September.

The house will now be designated as a ‘House of Mission’ and will be a place of evangelisation and preparation for young people. A number of trained people will take up residence at Glencomeragh and it is hoped that the young people who receive preparation there will go to the schools and parishes of the diocese to encounter other young people.

Glencomeragh will continue to be a ‘House of Prayer’ where people are invited to visit and enjoy some quiet time in the church and in the grounds and gardens.

Let us pray for the success of this new initiative, invoking the patron saints of the Diocese: Saint Otteran, Saint Carthage and Saint Declan and the Founder of the Insititute of Charity, Blessed Antonio Rosmini.

World Meeting of Families Prayer

God and Father of us all
in Jesus, your Son and our Savior,
you have made us
your sons and daughters
in the family of the Church.

May your grace and love
help our families
in every part of the world
be united to one another
in fidelity to the Gospel.

May the example of the Holy Family,
with the aid of your Holy Spirit,
guide all families, especially those most troubled,
to be homes of communion and prayer
and to always seek your truth and live in your love.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us!

Come to Me Like a Cry of Joy
When my life sinks in sadness,
come to me like a cry of joy.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

When my heart is as hard as a rock,
come to me like a dew of springtime.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

When noise invades my haven,
come to me like an oasis of silence.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

When the wind of hate rises within me,
come to me like a kiss of pardon.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

When I am sinking into the darkness of death,
come to me like a child’s smile.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

And when the earth encloses me in its arms,
open for me the doors of your mercy.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!     (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

Prayer for People of all Ages
Let us pray for all children:
Help them to grow in grace and wisdom;
and in the knowledge of your Son Jesus Christ.

Let us pray for all young men and women:
Give them a full and happy youth;
open their hearts to accept not only the suffering
but also the joy of the world.

Let us pray for all married people:
who have promised before Christ
to be faithful to each other;
May the fervor of their love show to the world
the tenderness of Christ Jesus toward his Church.

Let us pray for all those who are single:
because of the Kingdom of heaven;
Support them in the joy of their vocation,
that their lives may show to the world the Kingdom
that is to come.

Let us pray for all those in the autumn of life:
Grant them a peaceful and happy old age;
guide their steps on the road to peace.

Let us pray for all those who have no family and home:
Show the gentleness of your presence;
to all who live alone and have no hope but you.
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

The Pope’s Intentions for June
Universal: Human Solidarity That the aged, marginalised, and those who have no-one may find – even within the huge cities of the world – opportunities for encounter and solidarity.

Evangelisation: Seminarians and Novices That seminarians and men and women entering religious life may have mentors who live the joy of the Gospel and prepare them wisely for their mission.

 

Glory to you, Father

May you blessed, Father,
because you have created me,
and because the heart that you have given me
you held, first of all, in your own hands!
Blest are you, Lord, through eternity!

May you be blessed, Father,
for the soul that you have given me,
because your love has fashioned it
in the image of Jesus, your first-born Son!
Blest are you, Lord, through eternity!

May you be blessed, Father,
for the body that you have given me,
because you will call it to live eternally
in the glory of your resurrection!
Blest are you, Lord, through eternity!

O Father of Jesus and source of the Spirit,
you who loved me in Christ
even before the world was created,
you who are the source of my whole being
and the root of every good thing that grows in me:
because I was born in your heart,
let my whole life be only a return to you –
to your heart, where I will finally know
the peace of my heart.       (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
