26th Sunday in Ordinary Time 1st October: Focus: Jesus teaches us that God, who is Mercy, desires our obedience in word & deed. – Today’s readings speak of our freedom to choose obedience or disobedience to God, & of the very real effects of our choices. God’s love for us is such that while he desires our union with him, he allows us to respond to his love as we choose.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Mairead Davey (nee Marron, niece of Sean Marren, Castlecawley).

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
