Dunhill & Fenor Masses

As announced recently, from this September week day Masses will be celebrated in Dunhill & Fenor.
Mass in Fenor will be every Tuesday and Wednesday; Mass in Dunhill every Thursday and Friday. Masses will be celebrated at 9.00am.
Every believing community needs the opportunity to gather around the table of the Eucharist in prayer and reflection on a regular basis and I hope that the opportunity to do so more often will bear fruit in different ways among us. A praying community is a strong community. I hope that many will take the opportunity to gather on these mornings and also to know that anniversary masses can also be arranged for these days through the Parish Office in Dunhill.
Peace & Blessings,
Fr. Richard

Reflection for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

World of love

In a family so much love is lavished on the new-born first child, and you hear them saying that’s the end of freedom now for a good few years. Or the grandchildren come and there’s the babysitting. Life deepens love and narrows our freedom. Jesus says elsewhere that love is the door to eternal life. In laying down life for a friend, the cross was a narrow door.
Real love means little things a lot of the time, and with God it means time now and then dedicated to prayer and to worship, as well as loving our neighbour.
Love demands a lot as well as giving a lot. With the people we most love, we are most vulnerable and they can bring the worst and the best out in us.
The sick child, the elderly in the family, those in prison or in a difficult marriage call on our love, as does a husband or wife needing a lot of care in illness or old age! There is a special love shown by volunteers in our country and the developing world. The grandchild who is isolated and lonely calls too on our love. This is the world of love, the only world worth sacrificing anything for.
The condition for entering is not where you come from, whether you are first or last, whether you wear the right clothes or even turn up on time – the condition is that, in the way of the living God, you hear the word of God daily and live by it faithfully.

Lord, may your will of love be done on Earth.
