7th Sunday in Ordinary Time 19th February: Focus: As we are loved & forgiven by God, we are to love & forgive others. – God the Father sent his son, Jesus, to win our salvation & reveal the way we need to live, that we might come to share eternal life in heaven. The teachings of Jesus make it clear that God loves us without limit, & is ever-willing to forgive. Thus, to walk in God’s way of love we must strive to love all people, including our enemies, & be willing to forgive.

Baptism: We welcome into the Christian Family through the sacrament of Baptism: Ellie Grace Gorman, Teeling Grove, Tubbercurry.
