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 

There are two parables here that Matthew has joined together. Looking at the first one:

Scripture often speaks of the kingdom of God as a banquet. The image of people being at a meal where everyone is happy and welcome and where all hunger and thirst is satisfied gets across the idea that God loves, accepts, and welcomes us and wants us to make that experience available to one another. Think of the times in your like when you have had “banquet” experiences and when you have felt accepted and loved?

The host enlists the help of his servants to invite people to the banquet. We are commissioned by the Lord to invite people to the banquet of the kingdom, to the fulness of life-as parents, teachers, friends etc. What has it been like for you to play a part in leading others to a fuller life?

As in the parable last week there is a message about being alert to invitations that offer a fuller life and the danger of losing out if we neglect to respond to such invitations. Perhaps there have been opportunities offered to you that you missed, and now regret. Think also of the blessings you received because you seized the moment and took an opportunity that presented itself.

The second parable puts the focus on how we respond to invitations. Some invitations are ones that challenge us to change, to conversion, to put on a “wedding garment”. What has been your experience of changing in response to an invitation you received?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

The opening address of any synod or Church Council sets the tone for what is to follow. As the Synod on synodality continues in Rome, we include Pope Francis’ homily at the opening Mass. We also post in full ‘Laudate Deum’ – the pope’s follow up teaching document on the environment after ‘Laudato Si’ and a beautiful video called ‘Canticle of Creatures’. We include Fr Timothy Radcliff’s meditation at the synod that reflects on authority. Sean O’Leary reflects on the positive reasons to identify as Catholic today while we also include the second of Jim Thompson’s articles ‘This is the Word of the Lord’. We include reflections on the witness of St Ignatius of Antioch and St Luke whose feast days fall this week. Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
