Eily’s Report – 15th April
The end of another season of Lent is in sight, goodness knows I’ve seen a lot of them but the ending is always the same. First a sense of relief, then the nagging feeling of guilt, or remorse to see if I did all the right things. Did some act of mortification, such as fasting from one of my favourite things, or perhaps put the few bob into my Trocaire Box or did some kind act for someone in need. Well as they say the game isn’t over yet. We still have this week to make up for any of our shortcomings and a last minute effort could make all the difference. At Masses over the weekend we were given the list of all the ceremonies that we can avail of in the run-up to the excitement of Easter. The seven churches in our Pastoral area have various ceremonies at various times details of which can be found in each church, or on this week’s Mass leaflet. Please support them well. There was never more need for prayer with the amount of disturbance that is going on around us. With world leaders playing ping pong with our future. But we still believe in the power of the God who by prayer alone has seen us through all the difficulties of the past.
