Fr. Frankie writes:
This Sunday Pope Francis has asked us to celebrate the “First World Day of the Poor” . We see the Face of Jesus, disguised always in the faces of the poorest: the child victims of war in Yemen and wars everywhere: refugees from Syria and all refugees crossing dangerous seas looking for a homeland: in our towns and cities families without a place to call home and without a place to lay their head at the end of the day. We recognise the Face of Jesus in the eyes of all who suffer addictions and the lost and the lonely everywhere. Jesus hides in the frightened faces and in the tears of the Poor.
I want to acknowledge the work of St. Vincent de Paul in our community and their discreet and compassionate care for those who need our help. Many dread Christmas. The Christmas Carol Service this year (which will be held on Sunday 10th December at 7.30 p.m.) will go to help St. Vincent de Paul and Brother Kevin's work in the Capuchin Day Care Centre for homeless persons in Dublin. A special thank you to the choirs and all who are part of this celebration.
The boxes for the coming year are available in the porches to take home with you today. I cannot thank you enough for the extraordinary generosity you show each week in your weekly collection to our Parish and to the Dues collected 5 times each year as your gift to me. I could never repay your generosity and I am always in your debt. A special thanks to our faithful collectors and counters over many years.
Sunday next is our Parish Remembrance Day when we remember all from our Parish Family who have lost a loved one this past year. I invite you to join with us on Sunday next to pray with and for those bereaved and their loved ones who have made their Home with God.
After the “Do This In Memory Mass on Sunday next” weather permitting, I invite you to come down to our new Garden of Peace (behind Áras Phádraig) and plant some daffodil bulbs in memory of those who prayed in this Church, played in these fields and passed on their beautiful faith to us. The daffodils of Springtime will speak of our hope and our healing and our resurrection.
