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 

Jesus’ compassion for people suffering was an outstanding characteristic of his ministry. We see the healing power of God at work through him. Recall times when the compassion of others has had a healing effect on you. Remember also when your compassion towards someone in trouble brought them hope, healing or strength.

“If you choose, you can make me clean”. Our choice is a key factor in how we affect others. We cannot choose to have no impact on the people in our lives. Even a choice to do nothing has an effect. When have you been particularly aware of the importance of your choice to be a positive influence on another?

Lepers were forced to live away from others. The leper’s cure meant that he was also readmitted to contact with the community. Perhaps you recall people who were once ostracized being brought back into family or community. Who was the Jesus person who helped the healing to take place?

The joy of the leper on being healed was such that he could not keep the good news to himself. Bring to mind occasions when you were so filled with good news that you could not keep it to yourself.


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

‘Through the desert God leads us to freedom’ is the title of Pope Francis’ message for Lent this year that begins this Wednesday. To mark ‘World Day of the Sick’ we have a newsletter insert on people living with illness. Last Friday, 2nd February was ‘World Day for Consecrated Life’ and to mark it, we caught up with Sr Geraldine Fitzpatrick, Congregational Leader of the Sisters of St John of God, for an interview. We have news of a Vocations webinar that probes a Church response to the recent RTE programme ‘The Last Priest in Ireland’. We include a poem on war and peace by Philip Quirke and a YouTube video by Sr Mary Grace – an inspirational woman of faith and hope. Finally, some prayers and resources for the ‘Day of Prayer for Victims of Abuse’ which takes place on Friday 16th February. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
