May
- Month of Mary
Sunday,
20th May 2012 - Ascension
Sunday
Jesus
said to his disciples: “Go
out to the whole world;
proclaim the Good News to
all creation”.
Because of all that has
been happening in the Church
in recent years we can feel
despondent about the future.
Today’s feast of joy
and gladness is a call to
us to look up with confidence
and know the power of Christ
for the world in which we
live. In spite of the sinfulness
of his people, Christ is
at work and can overcome.
Our task is to let the world
know his love and his salvation,
not just by word but especially
by the way we live with
joy and hope and love. Although
these qualities are best
developed in our homes and
families, they need to be
seen and experienced in
our faith community. This
can only happen when we
are all taking our responsibility
for the health and well-being
of our faith community and
its future.

Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Holy Communion
Saturday 26th May @ 11am in St. Mary’s
Parents, this is a special day for you.
You see
your children take a new step in faith
as you
bring them, in their excitement and joy
to
share in the fullness of the Lord’s
Supper for
the first time. When you had your children
baptized you became their first teacher
in the
ways of faith. It is through you more
than anyone
else they have come to know God, and
His Ways. It is on you they will continue
to
depend for many years, to help them grow
in
response to God’s love in their
lives. No matter
what their teachers, or parish does, unless
your child senses your faith they will
not absorb
faith. The faith you hand on will be their
strength through life. Your family needs
religion,
not only in a crisis but for all areas
of living.
Teachers and priests cannot plant faith
in
the heart of your children if you do not.
Take
your mission seriously , enjoy it!

Prayer
to Saint Camillus of Lellis -
Most wonderful Saint, your compassion
for the sick and the dying led
you to found the Servants of the
Sick. As Patron of doctors, nurses
and hospital workers, infuse in
them your compassionate spirit.
Make hospitals resemble the inn
in Christ's Parable to which the
Good Samaritan brought the wounded
man saying: "Take care of
him and I will repay you for it."
Amen
“Think
well. Speak well. Do well. These
three things, through the mercy
of God, will make a man go to
Heaven .
Camillus
died on July 14, 1614. In 1742,
Pope Benedict XIV proclaimed Camillus
de Lellis blessed; in 1746 he
canonized him, calling him the
“Founder of a new school
of charity”. |
