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 

Jesus tells us that to have life we need more than physical nourishment. How have you been aware of deeper hungers? What has met that deeper longing in you?

Jesus tells us that it is not just something he gives us which will give us life, but himself in his life, death and resurrection. How has your faith in the person of Jesus fed you?

Jesus speaks about "drawing life" from him. In day to day living what are the practices which support your faith and help you to draw life from Jesus?

The Eucharist is one of the ways in which we draw life from Jesus. Recall with gratitude how the Eucharist has been a source of nourishment and life for you.

Perhaps you can also think of human examples of people drawing life from one another. From whom have you drawn life? Who has been able to draw life from you?


THE HOOK OF FAITH THIS WEEK

With the Pilgrimage Season at Our Lady’s Island in full swing, we highlight the various events taking place including a ‘VOCATIONS EVENING OF PRAYER’ which takes place next Tuesday 20th at 7.30pm with Bishop Ger. It is a celebration of all Christian vocations as we try to create a culture of vocations in our diocese. We have resources for the ‘Season of Creation’ that takes place from 1st September until 4th October. We have a homily for the Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time as Jesus continues his teaching on the Eucharist. We have an article on God’s love and the Mass and a speech given by Bishop Robert Barron at the recent Eucharistic Congress in America. For the Feast Day of St Bernard of Clairvaux on 20th August we have some of his best quotes and insights. Finally, we offer some more inspiring poetry from Philip Quirke.
Check out these and other resources available at www.thehookoffaith.com
