The Family that Prays together stays together”

"A world at prayer is a world at peace"

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time 21st August: Focus: We strive to be faithful always. – The liturgy today gives us a chance to step back & think of our journey as disciples. This journey is not a short sprint, but a marathon. Its urgency is always there. The narrow gate is always there. But we are not alone, & we have food for the journey. Our Eucharistic celebration strengthens us & gives us the grace to continue our journey to be faithful.

 

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Angela Donohoe, Castleoye. (relict of the late Billy Donohoe).    

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace
