The Parish of Carrigtwohill Pastoral Area of Cobh, Carrigtwohill, Lisgoold/Leamlara 24th / 25th October 2026 Thirty Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A Year for Weekday Mass St. Pauls Missal page 356 Parish web site www.carrigtwohillparish.ie Matthew 22:34-40 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to disconcert him , one of them put a question, ‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?

Jesus said, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

This is the greatest and the first commandment.

The second r esembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself.

On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets also .’.’ Responsorial Psalm . 17(18):2-4,47,51 I love you, Lord, my strength. “You must love’” Another group from the leadership of the Jews seek to catch Jesus out, the Sadducees.

Jesus answers their question correctly by saying th at Love of God comes before all else, how ever he also adds the second Commandment, love your neig hbour as yourself.

In this way Jesus is telling us that to love God is to love one another.

We cannot separate them. "If anyone says , 'I love God,' and yet hates his brother or sister, is a liar.

For the person who does not love his brothe r or sister whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.". (1John 4:20).

This love is not to be just words or mere talk but to be practical as we hear in the first reading for this Sunday from the Book of Exodus. “ You must not molest the stranger or oppress him, you lived as strangers in the land of Egypt.

You must not be harsh with the widow, or with the orphan ” (Ex22:20) Memory is a very important part of our lives, it is important to recall who we are and where we come from.

To love the stranger for the Israelites is to remember that they were strangers in othe r lands in the past, and they know what it is not to belong.

God has called us all into his family, we belong to him.

While we can all be comfortable in belonging to a particular people and place and be wary of strangers, of people different to ourselves w hich can lead to segregation, racism, blaming stranger for everything, we as Christians know that we are up of people from every nation and culture.

Our Belonging is in Christ and thus we are called to love one another as Jesus loves us. welcoming to the stranger and to those in need.

Exploring the Merging of Diocese in the Province of Cashel At the request of the Holy See, the Bishops of Irel and have been considering how our diocesan structures best serve our shared mission in the years ahead.

This is not simply a question of boundaries, admini strative adjustments or the sharing of resources more effectively.

Primarily it is about we can better proclaim the Gospel, support our clergy, relig ious and lay people, and strengthen our parishes and communities for evangelisation.

As part of this discernment, the bishops of the Cashel Province considered a range of possible configurations.

The following options are presented for further ref lection and consultation across the seven dioceses of the Cashel Province. 1. Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly and Diocese of Limer ick merge. 2. Archdiocese of Cashel & Emly, Diocese of Limerick a nd Diocese of Killaloe merge. 3. Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly and Waterford and Lismore merge. 4. Diocese of Limerick and Diocese of Killaloe merge. 5. Diocese of Limerick and Diocese of Cloyne merge. 6. Diocese of Cork and Ross and Diocese of Cloyne merge. 7. Diocese of Cloyne and the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore merge. 8. Diocese of Kerry and Diocese of Limerick merge. 9. Diocese of Kerry and Diocese of Cloyne merge. 10. Diocese of Kerry and the Diocese of Cork and Ross m erge.

Maintain the current diocesan structures – ruled out by the Papal Nuncio!

These are not decisions or an agreed map f or the future, rather material for further discussion.

As bishops, we recognise that dioceses are communities of faith with their own histories, relationships and traditions.

Any change must therefore be approached with prayer, sensitivity and care for the people and communities involved.

Synodal discernment also asks each of us to look be yond our own self-interests and to consider what will best serve the Catholic Church i n Ireland and in particular Munster as a whole.

Everyone in every parish is encourag ed to make their voice heard when opportunities for consultation are announced locally by their diocesan bishop.

Finally, we encourage everyone to actively engage i n this process, and to the keep this central question at the heart our prayer and reflec tion: How can we best equip the Catholic Church in Munste r for mission, evangelisation and the service of God’s people?

With every blessing, Bishops of Munster Province World Missions Sunday : Thank you for your support of Mission Sunday.

Confession may be made at any time within the week preceding or the week following 1 November.

Holy Communion may be received on any day from 1 November to 8 November. 2. The faithful who visit a cemetery and pray for the dead may gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the Holy Souls once per day every day of November.

Mitchel stown Paris h & Com munity Newsletter Volume : 16 Issue : 32 Date: 31st October & 1st November 2026 All Saints Thought for the Day All Saints and All Souls The writer George Eliot once stated that ‘Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them.

We may not need a particular day or month to bring our deceased loved ones to mind and yet praying for the dead during November is more than jus t remembering, it is an act of love and faith.

The Church sets aside this month, beginning with All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days, to remember all the faithful departed, a practice rooted in the belief in the Communion of Saints, the spiritual union of all believers, on earth, in purga tory, and in Heaven.

Praying for the dead is also for Catholics a spiritual work of mercy as well as an act of love offered for them.

It acknowledges our belief in Purgatory, a state of final purification for those who die in God’s grace but are not yet perfectly cleansed.

Our pre sence and our prayers, especially at Mass, assist souls on this journey towards the ultimate Christian vision of seeing God face to face where there is comp lete happiness and lasting peace.

Inevitably too our prayer for the dead is also a reminder of our own mortality.

As we pray for those gone before us, we are humbled and sometimes h aunted by the realisation that our time on earth is short and to examine our priorities.

The Beatles put it well many years is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friends’. Last December Pope Leo encouraged Christians to reflect upon the rea lity of death because above all he reminded those listening, ‘it teaches us to choose what we really want to make of our existence.

So this November, let us embrace this life affirming t radition, offering our prayers as a gift of love to all of our brothers and sisters awai ting the fullness of God’s presence.

Fr. Paul Clayton-Lea The Pope’s Monthly Intention For the proper use of wealth – Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service of the common good and solidarity of those who have less.

November Prayer Lord God, whose days are without end and whose mercies beyond counting, Keep us mindful that life is short and the hour of death unknown.

Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and That we may serve you in union with the whole Church, Sure in faith, strong in hope, perfect in love.

And when our earthly dwelling is ended, lead us rejoicing into your kingdom where you live for ever and ever.

Amen. Order of Christian Funerals, 332 Some Light Humour – Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?

Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "No, listen carefully.

If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?

Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!" Johnny: "Because I've already got a cat!

FEAST OF ALL SOULS –

Monday 2nd November – Feast of All Souls . Mass at 10:00am & 7:30pm. Monday is the Feast of All Souls . A Plenary Indulgence will apply for the 1st & 2nd November and also from the 1st to the 8th November.

Plenary Indulgence The Church offers a Plenary Indulgence during these days for those who have died and who are awaiting purification – we refer to these as Souls in Purgatory.

A Plenary indulgence is a remission of the punishment due to s ins and is gained by our prayers for the dead.

It may be gained in two ways: 1. Once by visiting a church between midday November 1st and midnight November 2nd and there say one Our Father and the Apostles Creed and also pray the Pope’s intentions. 2. Once each day by visiting a cemetery from midday November 1st to November 8th and praying for the dead.

Both these indulgences require that the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Reconciliation be received within twenty days.

REMEMBERING OUR DEAD All Souls’ Day invites us to pause, remember and reflect, not With fear or despair, but with hope and love.

It is a quiet sacred time in the Christian calen dar when we turn our hearts toward those who have gone before us.

It reminds us that death is not an end, but a rite of passage and that love, especially in Christ, does not end at the grave.

We remember the ordinary faithful, our parents, friends, neighbours, strangers who lived, struggled and hoped just like we do.

Some may have died suddenly, others after long goodbyes.

Some we knew intimately; others we never met.

Yet we are all connected in the mystery of the Communion of Saints, the living, the dead, and those yet to come.

On this day, we pray for the souls in Purgatory, trusting that our prayers, united with the mercy of God, help them on their journ ey towards full union with Him.

Our prayers are acts of love, and reminders that they are not for gotten.

All Souls’ Day gently confronts us with our own mortality.

But instead o f leading us to fear, it calls us to live well with compassion, humility, forgiveness, and faith so that when our time comes, we too may be welcomed into the fullness of God's presence.

Prayers for the Poor Souls in Purgatory Lord Jesus, lovingly welcome into Your presence my deceased family, relativ es and friends who have completed their journey on this earth, and have gone to their rest i n the hope of rejoicing with you forever in heaven.

Source of all life and love, in Your infinite mercy, look favourably upon their good ness, and forgive any sins they may have committed, so they may enjoy for all eternity the great rewards You have promised to those who believe in You.

Amen. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

And let the perpetual light shine upon them.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

PRAYER ON VISITING THE GRAVE OF A LOVED ONE Father in Heaven, as we stand before the resting place of our beloved , we remember the gift they were and continue to be to each of us here present.

We thank You for their life, the love they shared with us, and we pray that they are with You now, enjo ying the fullness of eternal life.

Comfort us in our sadness, strengthen us with Your hope, until we are united with them again in the love of Christ and we are with You and our loved one forever.

Amen. Lord God, whose days are without end and whose mercies beyond counting, keep us mindful that life is short and the hour of death unknown.

Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and jus tice, that we may serve you in union with the whole Church, sure in faith, strong in hope, perfect in love.

And when our earthly journey is ended, lead us rejoicing into your kingdom, where you live forever and ever.
