The Baptism of the Lord 13th January: Focus: God’s saving grace is found in Jesus Christ. – It can be easy to forget the tremendous blessings we enjoy because of God’s love for us – perhaps even taking them for granted. It is good to spend time with Scripture, & at Mass, thanking God for his never-ending love. We are reminded in word & sacrament that God’s saving grace is found in Jesus Christ. 

 SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Mary Bourke, Achonry (nee O’Connor, Ballylongford, Kerry).     

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace
