Bunclody ICA - New members needed

It is 70 years since ICA was started in Bunclody. The guild has always been very active in the parish for all those years. We want to keep that tradition alive. But, due in no small way to Covid 19 and the demographic ageing of our members, we are desperately looking for new members to join our guild. We meet once a month and have a guest speaker. Sometimes have various crafts, etc at our meeting. We also meet once a month for coffee and chat in local restaurant. Sadly, if we do not get new members, we may have to close the guild. If you have 2 hours to spare, once a month, and to keep the guild open, which was kept going by so many wonderful women in the past.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 

Certain sections of the Jewish people put great store on the importance of rules and conventions as a measure of the goodness of a person. Jesus challenges this view. Where have you seen goodness in unconventional people? What brought it home to you that being a good person meant more than getting appearances right?

Even fidelity in religious practice is not enough. ‘this people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me’. How have you experienced the importance of carrying your faith beyond attendance at Mass on Sundays? When have you seen that in others? What brought this home to you?

What Jesus seeks are followers whose faith is whole-hearted and warm, people whose religion is not seen primarily in dutiful observance but in enthusiasm for life and care for one another. It is good to be with them. Give thanks for the people you know who are like that.

‘It is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come.’ It is also from within that good intentions come. We have choices. When have you been faced with the choice between good and evil? When did you realise the importance of accepting responsibility for your own life and choices? How has this helped your growth as a person?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

‘For the Cry of the Earth’ is Pope Francis’ prayer intention for September as we enter the ‘Season of Creation’ that runs until 4th October. We have a homily for the Twenty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time where the Gospel sees Jesus pushing us to make that inward journey and with his grace to purify our wills and actions. Fr Lar O’Connor writes an article on ‘Jesus, the Crucified Messiah’ and we also include a wonderful piece of writing that compares the Church’s vocation in the world to a living cell. We have an article on spiritual direction and how it is a gift that helps address our fears and reflect on the witness of St Gregory the Great whose feast day we celebrate on 3rd September. Finaly, more light and inspiration from the pen of Lorcan Brennan.
Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
