22^nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 2^nd September: Focus: Jesus, who is the fulfilment of God’s laws & prophets, tells us how to live out God’s commandments. – Today, we think about the best way to live out God’s commandments, passed on to us through Moses, by witnessing God’s blessings & presence in our midst. We can go beyond our human traditions & rituals by washing our hearts & getting rid of evil thoughts & desires. We practice it by caring for all who are vulnerable & in need.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Sr Kathleen (Bernard) Dillon, England, member of the Marist Sisters,(sister of Bernie Hosey, Achonry).  

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace
