25th Sunday in Ordinary Time 23rd September: Focus: Jesus calls us to set ourselves apart from the world & serve others. – Our world is full of arguments & conflict. People fight & despise one another out of jealousy & selfish desires. Today, Jesus calls on us to be different from the world & learn to serve others. This is how we can be the greatest in his eyes.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Mary Josephine Judge, Achonry, (first cousin of the Devaney families, Achonry), Martin Higgins, London, (husband of Patricia O’Brien, formerly of Tubbertelly.  

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace
