A LITANY OF REMEMBRANCE – WE REMEMBER THEM In the rising of the sun and in its going down we remember them; In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter we remember them; In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of summer we remember them; In the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of the autumn we remember them; In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them; When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them; When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live for they are now a part of us as we remember them.

Join us for even a brief period of time.

To Live a life in accordance with the Beatitudes.

Today, we really stand on the shoulders of giants.

Over the last two thousand years countless men, women and children of many eras, places and cultures have spent their lives in the service of the Good News of Jesus Christ. From among these many, a smaller group of individuals have earned the distinction of being known as “Saints.” These are real people to whom we look for example.

These are real people to whom we look for inspiration.

These are real people to whom we look for encouragement and grace.

These saints - these real people - have blazed a trail amid challenges and trials while living and proclaiming the Gospel.

The challenge for us is to follow their example in ways that fit the state and stage of life in which we find ourselves.

Francis de Sales wrote: “Look at the example given by the saints in every walk of life.

There is nothing that they have not done in order to love God and to be God's devoted followers.

Why then should we not do as much according to our position and vocation in life to keep the cherished resolution and holy protestations that we have made?” So, What does it mean to be a saint?

Surprisingly, it is much more down-to- earth and obtainable than we might think.

Francis de Sales observed: “We must love all that God loves, and God loves our vocation; so let us love our vocation, too, and not waste our energy hankering after a different sort of life, but get on with your ownjob.

Be Martha as well as Mary, and be both gladly, faithfully doing what you are called to do.” In the view of St. Francis de Sales, sanctity - sainthood - is measured by our willingness and ability to embrace the state and stage of life in which we find ourselves.

Saints are people who deeply embraced their lives as they found them, rather than wasting time wishing or waiting for an opportunity to live someone else's life.

Sainthood - sanctity - holiness - is marked by the willingness to embrace God's will as it is manifested in the ups and downs of everyday life.

So how are we being called to be saints? and how in the midst of our trials, might we blaze a trail of love for just today?

info@kellsparish.ie Website: www.kellsparish.ie November A Time To Remember During November we commemorate the Faithful Departed.

We compile our own Individual list of our beloved dead and add them to the Parish List of the Dead 2026. The Parish List of the Dead envelopes are available in the Churches, your box of Parish Envelopes or simply write on a plain envelope Parish List of the Dead and enclose your name, address, offering and list of beloved dead.

Please return to the

Parochial House

Parish Office

or put into the collection bags at weekend masses.

Throughout November at every Mass and on the First Friday’s of every month we remember and pray for the repose of the souls of all the Faithful Departed. …………………. ‘Indeed, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the very earliest days of the Christian religion, has honoured with great respect the memory of the dead; and “because it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins ” (2Mac 12:46) she offers her suffrages for them.

These consist, primarily, in celebration of the holy sacrifice of the Eucharist, and in other pious exercises, such as prayers for the dead, alms deeds, works of mercy, and the application of indulgences to the souls of the faithful departed. ’ Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, 251 . Norms for Indulgences at the Commemoration of All Souls – By making confession within the week preceding or following 1st November, receiving Holy Communion and praying for the Pope’s Intentions (One Our Father & Hail Mary) when visiting a church or cemetery, one can gain a plenary indulgence for the holy souls of our dead.

Tree Of Memory In our church we have placed a Tree of Memory on which we placed the names of our parishioners who died and whose funerals were here in the parish in the past twelve months.

Everyone is invited to write the names of their loved ones who died elsewhere this past year and also place them on the branches.

Tags are available at the foot of the Tree.

Also, if you wish simply to remember those who are part of your Family Tree and are now gone before us into God’s eternal merciful embrace, then please write their names and add them to our Tree of Memory.

A Special Mass of Memory with our choir, soloists and musicians will be celebrated on

Friday 6th November at 7:30pm in St. Colmcille’s Church.

At this Mass we will remember in particular parishioners whom we have buried since this time last year.

We invite their families to join us for this Memorial Mass, as we recognise their grief and support them with our prayers.

We also invite other parishioners who may have lost loved ones and celebrated their funerals elsewhere.

Please come and join with us as we pray for the gentle repose of their souls in the eternal love and mercy of God.

The death of someone you love is always traumatic.

Their passing leaves a void in your life and home.

We turn to fami- ly and friends to console us in our grieving.

We also turn to God and his Word for consolation.

We read in the Gospel Jesus’ great promise, “Trust in God still and trust in me.

There are many rooms in my Father’s house. ” As a community, we will gather to support each other and turn to God in prayer for our deceased loved ones at our Remembrance Mass.

Pope Leo’s prayer intention for November - For the proper use of wealth Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the tempt ation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service for the common good and solidarity of those who have less. ‘Against this backdrop, there has been “troubling revival of war as an instrument of international politics ” (ibid.,190).

As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “the accumulation of arms strikes many as a paradoxically suitable way of deterring potential adversaries from war.

They see it as the most effective means of ensuring peace among nations ” (no. 2315), thus betraying the memory of the twentieth century and the senseless slaughter of millions of human lives.

Precisely in these times marked by a “culture of power, ” there is a need to cultivate the spirit of Assisi, which entails a rejection of the religious justification of war, a spirit of mediation and dialogue, and contemplative reflection combined with creative action in the service of a fu ture of peace.

Yes, peace must once again become the common ideal of all peoples, the gu iding star for all our choices, the standard that exposes injustice, and the shared horizon for a ll.

We must rebuild peace everywhere, not prepare for more wars.

War can never be waged in the name of God.

For us believers, “to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself ” 2self (Magnifica Humanitas, 223).

There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy.

That is why the journey begun in Assisi as a shared quest for peace is, first and fore most, the path of prayer.

Prayer may seem weak in the face of the powers of the world, but it is the humble strength of believers.

Let us turn to God, the giver of peace, that he may touch the hearts of those who seek war and terrorism.

Let us not forget that prayer is never in vain. ’ MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE LEOXIV TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL MEETING ‘UNARMED AND DISARMING PEACE’ IN ASSISI, 27.10.2026 RED WEEK an initiative launched by the pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

Week of Witness 15 – 22 November. According to the latest figures provided by ACN, 413 million Christians live in countries where serious violations of religious freedom occur, and around 220 million Christians worldwide are directly exposed to persecution.

Forms of Persecution PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Torture, imprisonment, and murder are common, with open attacks on Christians, often resulting in mass killings or displacements.

PROPERTY AND CHURCH DESTRUCTION: In countries like Pakistan and Egypt, churches are frequently attacked, vandalised, or demolished.

Often, believers face legal obstacles i n constructing new places of worship.

LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: Laws against ‘blasphemy, ’ ‘anti-conversion’ laws, or against ‘apostasy’ are used to intimidate and criminalise Christians in countries like Paki stan, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

There have been more martyrdoms in the last hundred years than in the previ ous 1,900 years of Church history.

On

Wednesday 18th November we will offer Mass for all those who suff er for the faith around the world.

Forty Hours Adoration for the Solemnity of Christ the King in the Cathedral, Mullingar from

Friday 20th to

Sunday 22nd November. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available from noon to Midnight on

Saturday 21st. Adoration will conclude with Solemn Vespers & Benediction at 4pm on Sunday led by Bishop Deenihan, with Bishop Fintan Monahan as Homilist. The Cosy Café will meet on

Tuesday 10th November in Kilbeggan Parish Centre from 11am – 1pm. There will be tea/coffee and cakes and time for a chat with friends.

The guest speaker this month is from Age Friendly Ireland and they will provide information on the Age Friendly Programme.

Na Naoimh Uilig Domhnach Saor. 1ú Samhain 2026. “Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them…they know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence ”. George Eliot (1859).

In these first days of November, the resurrection of the crucified Jesus from the dead sheds light on the destiny of each one of us.

For he told us: “This is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day”(Jn 6:39).

Thus, the focus of God’s concerns is clear: that no one should perish forever and that everyone should have their own place and radiate their unique beauty.

This is the mystery that we celebrated …. on the Solemnity of All Saints : a communion of differences that, so to speak, extends God’s life to all his daughters and sons who wish to share in it.

It is the desire written in the heart of every human being, a longing for recognition, attention and joy.[The] Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed brings this mystery even closer to us.

Indeed, each time that death seems definitively to take away a voice, a face or an entire world, interiorly we understand God’s concern that no one perish.

In fact, each person is an entire world. [This day], then, is a day that challenges the human memory, so precious and yet so fragile.

Without the memory of Jesus – of his life, death and resurrection – the immense treasure of daily life risks being forgotten.

In the mind of Jesus, however, even those whom no one remembers, or whom history seems to have erased, always remain in their infinite dignity… May visiting the cemetery, where silence interrupts the hustle and bustle of life, invite us all to remember and to wait in hope.

As we say in the Creed: “I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come”. Let us commemorate, therefore, the future, for we are not enclosed in the past or in sentimental tears of nostalgia.

Neither are we sealed within the present, as in a tomb.

May the familiar voice of Jesus reach us, and reach everyone, because it is the only one that comes from the future.

May he call us by name, prepare a place for us, free us from that sense of helplessness that tempts us to give up on life.

May Mary, the woman of Holy Saturday, teach us once again to hope.

It is a time to visit the church and cemetery, to pause in silence, and to give thanks for those who have gone before us marked with faith. prayers and acts of remembrance are expressions of love and hope, helping our departed brothers and sisters toward their eternal rest.

Pope Leo XIV, homily, Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, 2025 We celebrate the Commemoration of all the faithful departed.

We do so with particular affection for our own loved ones.

Although they left us on the day when they died, we continue to carry them with us in our hearts, and their memory remains always alive within us amid our daily lives.

Often, something brings them to mind, and we recall experiences we once shared with them.

Many places, even the fragrance of our homes, speak to us of those we have loved and who have gone before us, vividly maintaining their memory for us.

Today, however, we are not gathered merely to commemorate those who have departed from this world.

Our Christian faith, founded upon Christ’s Paschal mystery, helps us to experience our memories as more than just a recollection of the past but also, and above all, as hope for the future.

It is not so much about looking back, but instead looking forward towards the goal of our journey, towards the safe harbour that God has promis edus, towards the unending feast that awaits us.

This hope for the future brings to life our remembrance and prayer today.

This is not an illusion for soothing the pain of our separation from loved ones, nor is it mere human optimism.

Instead, it is the hope founded on the Resurrection of Jesus who has conquered death and opened for us the path to the fullness of life.
