5^th Sunday in Ordinary Time 9^th Feb: Focus: In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord. –Both Isaiah & Simon Peter stand in awe of the power of the Lord. Isaiah declares his lips unclean & Peter calls himself a sinful man. They recognize their own lowliness in the face of the Lord’s majesty. Paul reminds us that Christ died for our sins & was raised. When we confess our sinfulness, we also acknowledge God’s power to forgive us.

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Maura Conway, Crete, (sister of Peadar & Sean Conway, Cloondrihara), George Murphy, Drimnagh, Dublin, (brother of Evelyn Kennedy, Tubbertelly, Padraig Staunton, Athboy & Louisburgh, (brother-in-law of Mary Kilcoyne, Ogham), Helen McCarrick, Cloonbaniff, whose anniversary occurs at this time, (Helen’s anniversary Mass will be celebrated in April).    

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace
