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 

"Who do you say that I am?" imagine Jesus putting this question to you. How would you answer it? How would you answer it, not in words taken from a catechism or textbook, but from your own experience of the significance of Jesus in your life? What does Jesus mean to you? What does his gospel message mean to you?

Jesus went on to teach his disciples that following him would be hard at times. There would be a price to pay. Perhaps you also have found that imitating the love and compassion of Jesus is not an easy road? Nor does it come easy to have the constant trust in God that Jesus had. Yet Jesus tells us that this is the way to life. Would you agree?

There is a natural human tendency to shy away from what is painful or difficult. Yet if that is our standard pattern of behaviour, we will not get far in reaching our potential. We will never find who we are capable of being. When have you found it worthwhile to face difficulties, preserve, ‘carry your cross’ for a while to achieve some goal that was important to you?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

Old Wounds, Fresh Hope’ is an article that reflects on the great need for ongoing healing in our country and our Church after more people shared bad experiences they had in our schools. We have a homily for the Twenty-Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time where Jesus praises Peter for his faith and then rebukes him for his worldly thinking. We have news of a Vocations ‘Come and See’ day taking place in UCD on 12th October and news of an up-coming book launch by Philip Quirke. We offer a succinct summary of the working document for the ‘Synod on Synodality’ that takes place in Rome next month and a focus on the work of ‘Rachel’s Vine-yard’ – an organisation that offers help and support to women and families traumatised after an abortion. Finally, we have more information on the visit of the relics of St Bernadette and share the story of the life of St Hildegard of Bingen whose feast day falls on 17th September.

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