A POWERFUL, DISPLAY OF LOVE, SUPPORT AND GRATITUDE IN HONOURING ALL
OUR FAITHFUL DEPARTED.
Our Cemetery Masses this week were truly inspirational and inspiring. The huge numbers who
attended, prayerful in acknowledgement of all our faithful departed was truly inspirational. All who
attended both from within the Parish and all who travelled from far & near from outside the Parish
made our celebrations really special. Thanks to one and all for making our Cemetery Masses so very
special and as l have said at the Masses, our three Cemeteries are maintained excellently. Well done to
all involved. I was sorry to have missed the Knockanure Cemetery Mass, but I had a prior engagement
booked many months ago for a dear & special friend whose first anni. was on Tuesday last. My sincere
thanks to Frs Tom & Brendan for celebrating such a beautiful and meaningful Celebration on Tuesday
in Knockanure.
Our Graveyard Committee deserve a sincere thank you on all our behalf - very many thanks for your
continued dedication and huge commitment in keeping our three Cemeteries , Sacred & Special places
looking so lovely and so beautifully maintained all through the year. May God reward you for your
generous work. Thanks to all who helped in any way on Mon. Tues. and Wed. evening.
UPHELD BY THE LOVE AND COMPASSION OF JESUS
At some time or another, every follower of Jesus is faced with trying circumstances, very difficult
decisions, very great sorrows, very powerful tempations. Here are a few examples of the kind of things
that the modern follower of Jesus might have to cope with in daily living:
JOHN IS A YOUNG PERSON LIVING AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY HOME. It is Sunday morning
and he is in a warm bed. It is raining and very cold outside. Should he leave his bed and go to Mass?
He knows he will have to face the laughter of his mates as they take their “LITURGY OF THE
WORD” straight out of the tabloids. Will John be able to obey the gentle voice of Jesus calling him to
come to Church and listen to the uplifting and encouring Word of God?
MARY IS SINGLE, WHO HAS BECOME PREGNANT: She is heading into a storm of protest from
her parents and awful gossip for her nieghbours as soon as the news breaks. Then she is offered a way
out - a quiet abortion. No one ever will know, but then she hears the gentle voice of Jesus sayong that
abortion is wrong. Will she have the courage to listen to Jesus?
EILEEN - A YOUNG MUN WITH FOUR CHILDREN: Suddenly her husband leaves her for another
woman. She feels hurt and betrayed, lonely and very angry. Then she hears the gentle voice of Jesus
inviting her to trust. Will she have the courage to allow the presence and touch of Jesus to guide and
bless her and her four children through this awful time?
TIMMY IS A GARDA: A drug dealer offers him a very large amount fo money, if he would turn a
blind eye to his activities. It is very tempting. But then he hears the gentle voice of Jesus saying, “Do
not participate in corruption”. Will Timmy be able to heed the gentle voice of Jesus?
PAUL IS A COMMERICAL TRAVELLER: His work takes him away from home a lot. One night he
meets a very attractive woman. He hasn’t been getting on of late with his wife. No one will know if he
is unfaithful to her. He hears the gentle voice of Jesus reminding him of his marriage vows. Will Paul
have the strength to listen to Jesus who tells him that adultery is wrong?
The examples are endless, but the point has been made at some time or another, all of us face very
trying circumstances. At those times Jesus will remind us that He is there to help, guide, and protect us.
May we ever be attentive to His gentle voice, always inviting and calling us to do what is right and
good. May His love and compassion continue to uphold us today and always.
THREE NEW SPECIAL MEMBERS: This is my third Sunday with you as your new Parish Priest and
each Sunday to date I’ve had the joy of having a Baptism, welcome a baby in our Christian Family here
in our Parish. Please pray in thankgiving for Kathleen Adeline Saccard, Woodgrove, Sive Christina
Lyons Dromurhur and Sadhbh Kennelly, Leitrim West. Bless them and their parents & families.
Welcome Sive, Kathleen and Sadhbh.
SACRED SPACE: As our Church in Moyvane is dedicated to our Blessed Lady we have a special
sacred space erected for the month of August. A petition box will be placed in front of the ‘sacred
space’ for your prayers & petitions to Our Blessed Lady. May Mary continue to guide, bless and
protect our Parish.
VISITORS: A special word of welcome to all our visitors to our Parish. Hope you enjoy your stay
with us.

SECOND COLLECTION: Diocesan Collection will be taken up at all Masses on the weekend of 15 th
/16th in aid of the Pastoral & Retreat Centres.
Rather than have this collection at the door on the way into Mass. I wish to have this collection taken
up after Holy Communion with the baskets passed around as like the offertory collection. This will be
easier on Collectors who in previous arrangements meant that they have to be in Church a half hour
before Masses. Please God this will not inconvience you too much. Many thanks for your continual
support and understanding.
Meeting of Altar Servers and their Parents next Monday night 10th August in the Church at 8pm.
