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
‘Peace be with you’ was the greeting of Jesus on meeting
his frightened apostles. Who has come to you bringing peace at times
when you were frightened? For whom have you been an agent of peace?
Thomas, doubting and questioning, is possibly a person
with whom we can identify. What part have doubts and questions played on
your faith journey? How has your faith been strengthened by such
moments?
Note the way Jesus dealt with Thomas. He did not give
out because he doubted. He took him where he was and led him along to
see the truth of his resurrection. Who has been that kind of a teacher
for you, gently taking you where you were and leading you on to a deeper
knowledge of some truth about life? For whom have you been that kind of
teacher
‘Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believed’.
That requires great trust. Perhaps you have had the experience of being
trusted without having had to prove every step along the way. What was
it like to be trusted in that way? Who have you been able to trust in a
similar manner?
THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK
On this ‘Divine Mercy Sunday’ we again proclaim the
infinite and beautiful mercy of God that is our final hope. It is a gift
that invites us to see it from God’s side as giver and not just our side
as receivers. We have an article that identifies why many vocations
programmes fail and another that helps preachers and teachers proclaim
the resurrection with its full power and impact. Fr Jim Cogley provides
us with brief but powerful reflections on the Easter message. We
continue with the series ‘The Creed in Slow Motion’ that unpacks the
Apostles Creed and finally, we include more light and inspiration from
the pen of Lorcan Brennan. Check out these and other resources available
at www.thehookoffaith.com
