32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 12th November: Focus: Today, as we hear about the kingdom of heaven, we are reminded to be steadfast in our Christian faith, hope & love. – Jesus uses a parable to teach us about the reality of heaven. He warns us not to become drowsy in our faith, like the bridesmaids who in their foolish lack of preparation bring no oil with them. Instead, Jesus teaches that we are to live in such a way that we are ready to meet the Lord.  

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Lucy Marren, Doobeg, (mother of Lorraine Feeley, Tubbertelly).

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
