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 

We often get satisfaction from the things we own, clothes, cars, homes, gadgets, or money. There would be something unnatural if we did not. But what happens to us when our possessions begin to ‘own’ us, when they take a hold us, when we become obsessed with them? Jesus seeks followers who have the freedom to let go of possessions in order to be a servant of others. In whom have you seen this freedom? When have you experienced it yourself?

Growth implies change. That change sometimes means letting go of something we have at this moment: job, status, home, security, or something else we value. There can be an apparent loss in letting go. Yet have you ever found that you gained more than you lost by having the freedom to let go of something to which you had previously clung?

The disciples thought that Jesus was making impossible demands of people following him. He acknowledged that discipleship was impossible to us on our own efforts alone. How have you experienced the benefits of the help of others and of God when you were faced with difficulties in life?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

Having marked the ‘International Day of Non-Violence’ on 2nd October, an article offers practical ways of tack-ling the scourge of violence against women. As the sec-ond ‘Synod on Synodality’ begins in Rome, we share opening meditations by Pope Francis and Fr Timothy Radcliff OP. ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ is the official hymn for the forthcoming Jubilee year 2025 that we look forward to. We offer an article on St John Henry Newman for his feast day on Wednesday 9th October and resources for ‘Children’s Day of Mission’ that takes place on

Friday 11th. We have a homily for the Twenty-Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time that focuses on marriage and offer newsletter resources from Pope Francis’ ‘The Joy of Love’. Finally, an article debunks the myth of vast Vatican wealth – something that is often portrayed as an obstacle to faith.

Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
