The Pope’s Intentions for May
Universal: Care for the Suffering That, rejecting the culture of indifference, we may care for our neighbours who suffer, especially the sick and the poor.
For Evangelisation: Openness to Mission That Mary’s intercession may help Christians in secularised cultures be ready to proclaim Jesus.
Appeal for Nepal
Mary Fanning from Fermoy is living and working in Nepal for the past 13 years. (Mary is a first cousin of my niece Anne). Thank God, she and her family are “ok”, but are devastated by the DREADFUL SUFFERING all around them. Mary is doing all she can to provide food and comfort for these people in great need. To help do this, my niece (Anne) is trying to raise funds, to forward to her.
If you would like to contribute any donation, small or large, it will be very much appreciated. You can be assured that 100% of cash collected will go directly to Mary, to help the local people.
There is a collection box near the Altar for your donations. It will be there all week, and again next Sunday. Sr. Mary
To Testify to your Resurrection
May you be blessed Lord Jesus, you who call us to testify to your Resurrection unto the ends of the earth! But come to our aid, so that our testimony may be worthy of you.
You wish us to proclaim that you are Living, though we ourselves fear death.
You wish us to announce your light, though we grope in the darkness.
You command us to speak with authority, though we stutter in ignorance before your mystery.
You wish us to affirm your free gift of mercy for all people, though we have to beg for it, first of all, for ourselves.
You wish to make us God’s assistants, though we carry the weight of our own fatigue.
Can anything make so many contradictions work together as your love alone?….. a love which calls us in spite of our faults, which gives us confidence in spite of our unfaithfulness!
To you be glory, O wonderful Christ, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever!
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
