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 

While the parable has clear end-of - time applications it can also be applied to any moment of grace. It reminds us that moments of grace come unexpectedly, and we need to be awake to receive them. Recall times when you were alert for such a moment. What were the consequences for you?

Grace can also be disturbing. We can be coasting along in life and suddenly an opportunity or a graced moment arrives and we are shaken out of our routine in order to respond? Perhaps you can recall both moments when you were unprepared, and moments when you were able to respond. What lessons have you learned from such experiences?

We may be tempted to judge the wise virgins as being selfish for not sharing with the others, but perhaps Jesus is teaching us that there are some things that other people cannot provide for us we have to acquire them ourselves. What qualities in life do you see as the essential oil that you must provide for yourself?

THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

The ‘Synod on Synodality’ has just ended in Rome. We post the summary synthesis along with an article and video interview with one of the key organisers. We have a homily for the Thirty- Second Sunday of Ordinary Time which focuses on hope and the recording of a presentation by Dr Patrick Kenny on the life of Fr Willie Doyle SJ and how he can inspire priests today. We have inputs on two major cultural issues today - David Quinn has an article on false views on gender while William Binchy gives his input to the Oireachtas hearing on Euthanasia. As Science Week begins, we have an article on St Albert the Great who valued both faith and science as sources of truth. Finally, we have a report from ‘Aid to the Church in Need’ on the desperate plight of the people of Gaza and how Christians are managing to keep hope alive. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
