(DuraƟon 9am -approx 3pm, all for just £55) Tel:02844 619000 In this weekend's gospel Jesus encourages the men He is calling to priesthood not to be afraid to ".take up their cross and follow [Him]." and promises them that they will find fulfilment and "life" in Him. At first glance, Jesus ’ words about loving Him more than family can sound harsh. However, this is not an endorsement of neglecting family. Rather, it is a spiritual principle: when God is the ultimate priority, our love for others becomes purer and more selfless. Discipleship requires a willingness to carry one ’s cross—enduring hardship and prioritizing God ’s will above worldly comforts. You don't need to do something monumental to serve God. Jesus promises that even giving "a cup of cold water" a simple, small act of kindness done in His name —will be deeply noticed and rewarded by the Father Next bulletin will be on the weekend of 29/30 August. Please hand any anniversaries or notices into the sacristy before Mass. Summer Holidays and School is out! We would like to wish the children, members of staff and all the families in our parishes a very enjoyable and safe summer.

This is more than hospitality. It means openness to the other and to the message. Each member of the Church has received a mission so we must respect each other in a spirit of faith and love. Those whom Christ sends in an apostolic or prophetic ministry are to be listened to, whatever our natural feelings about them may be. Monday 29th St Peter and St Paul. Martyred in Rome and venerated as the twin pillars of the Church, not only of Rome but worldwide: Peter who denied Christ but became the rock of stability, Paul who persecuted Christ in his followers but became his great preacher in the pagan world. Tuesday 30th The First Martyrs of the Church of Rome, who died in the persecution of Nero in 64. Wednesday 1st July St Oliver Plunkett , from Irish nobility, was ordained in Rome in 1654. He was appointed Archbishop of Armagh in 1669. He was forced to conduct a covert ministry during the suppression of priests. He was arrested and tried in Dundalk in 1679 for conspiring against the state. As he would not be convicted in Ireland he was moved to Newgate Prison in London and found guilty of high treason ‘for promoting the Catholic Faith’ and was condemned to death. He was martyred at Tyburn on 1 July 1681. Friday 3rd St Thomas, Apostle , is said to have preached the gospel in India where he was martyred. The faith that led him to know Christ in his wounds sent him to the farthest places to preach Christ. Saturday 4th St Elizabeth of Portugal (1271-1336) had an unhappy marriage with the King of Portugal. She persevered in prayer and good works and as a widow lived in poverty as a Franciscan tertiary. Mass in Shrove at 11am. Sunday 5th 11.30am Mass will be celebrated in Ballybrack. Blessing of the Graves in Ballybrack after this Mass.

Local Safeguarding Representatives are Mary McGranaghan and Brídín Hannaway A short reflection on today’s Gospel Matthew 10: 37-42 ‘Anyone who finds his life will lose it; anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it’. These words spoken by Jesus in today’s Gospel, spoken with such force, can initially seem enigmatic, paradoxical, even. How can we find ourselves by losing oursel ves? And then it dawns on us. If the life we find ourselves living and cherishing is a life wedded exclusively to the material world, a life which embraces the power -hunger, greed and corrupt practices of that world, then that life, when it ends, is lost . But anyone who lives life with Jesus as its centre, a life which embraces Jesus fully – his teaching, his guidance, the cross he carried out of a love so profound it made the cold world reel in shocked incredulity, that person has found eternal life. To be a true and faithful disciple of Jesus is not easy, and Jesus knows this. He knows it is not easy for us to carry the cross of our suffering with the same courage, fortitude and humility with which he carried his own heavy cross to Calvary. He knows our predilection to attach ourselves to the wrong things, the wrong people, the shiny and superficial as opposed to the deep and worthwhile. He assures us over and over that he will never desert us: he will never abandon us to our fears. He assures us t hat true faith overcomes all fears: if we put his spirit before all else, our reward will be great indeed, in this life as well as in eternal life. We can experience in the here and now the peace and joy which is the reward of casting aside the ego -centre d life and embracing a life which is gloriously Jesus -centred. Jesus, may we never forget that faith can overcome all fear. Jesus, may we always remember to put you before all else if we are to gain a life of peace and joy for all eternity.
