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.

EVER THOUGHT OF PRIESTHOOD?

‘Take the Risk for Christ’ is the name given to this year of prayer and promotion to the diocesan priesthood. ‘Taking the Risk for Christ’ underlines the chance Christ asks us to give him as he leads us to the way of life he created us for. Might this way for you be priesthood or religious life? If you have thought and prayed about this possibility, then please know that help and support is available. Contact Fr Billy Swan, Vocations Director at billyswan68@hotmail.com for a chat and more information.


THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 

The baptism of Jesus was an extraordinary religious experience for him. Something happened that was a major step forward for Jesus in coming to know that he was the beloved Son of God. We all have events in our lives that are milestones along the road of discovering who we are. What have been these milestones for you?

‘You are the Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’ Bring to mind experiences in which you knew you were the beloved (of God or of another person) and that the one who loved you was well pleased. Remember these experiences with gratitude, knowing that the only proper response to love received is thankfulness. Perhaps you have also given that experience to another.

It is easy to lament the growing secularisation in the world today, but the Spirit of God who spoke loudly to the world in the Chris-event is active today. How can we be open to the new things the Spirit is saying to the church today?

John gives an example of humility as a person confident in his own role but not seeking to claim to be more than he is. He acknowledges that Jesus is greater. There ia a freedom in being able to acknowledge the gifts of others without losing a sense of one’s own giftedness. Recall times when you were able to do this.


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

On the Feast of the Lord’s Baptism, we focus on who we became on the day we were baptised and how being a Christian is not just about being good but about becoming a beloved child of God in Christ. We have a homily and an article on the dignity that baptism confers and why our baptism is a continuous source of meaning. We have the Pope’s prayer intention for January which is for the gift of diversity in the Church. As the Christmas season draws to a close, David Quinn imagines what the world would be like if the first Christmas never happened. Dr Andrew O’Regan shares his personal story and professional take on fatal foetal diagnoses and we have an article on how tragedy can be dressed up by imprecise and deceiving language. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
