Thought for the Day : Jesus does not pluck his summary teaching from the air, he quotes from the Shema Yisrael, the great daily prayer of Judaism found in Deuteronomy 6. The second part about the love of neighbour is taken from Leviticus 18. This mission statement stands as a resounding appeal to us today.
We are asked not just to believe that there is a God, but to love God.
We are asked not just to respect our neighbour, but to love our neighbour.
Love is not only the truth about human beings but also the truth about God, who is love itself.
Prayer : Great and loving God, your love for us is beyond what we can grasp with our minds and hearts.
Let such great love for all awaken in us a true love of you and lead to authentic service of our neighbour . ( www.tarsus.ie ) Pope Leo XVI on X: I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days.
I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital.
This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity.
Now that I have overcome this delicate phase, I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.

Reflection: The Saints as Stained Glass Windows I think of the saints as stained- glass windows.
An ordinary window lets in the sunlight but the stained-glass window gives colour, shape and story to the light.
The saints in their various ways show us how to live the Christian life.
The saints manifest the holy side of the Church.
They give shape, story and colour to the light of God.
They inspire us by their holy lives, instruct us by the ir teaching and give us their protection in answer to our prayers.
Saint Therese of Lisieux promised, “I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth.” This November let us recall the light of our beautiful saints that are publicly venerated and especially those we have personally known and loved . See on You Tube Bravery Under Fire tells the story of Fr Willie Doyle SJ the Heroic Irish Priest & World War 0ne Army Chaplain Who Died Saving Soldiers I know a lot of Saints, I do!
So let me mention just a few: I know someone who runs a team and teaches kids to play and dream, Who stands in cold and wind and rain on days they play and nights they train; Someone who’s there when we are sad The best the gentlest friend we’ve had , Someone who says, ‘Just do your best’, when I am scared to take atest; A friend who takes the time to show how things were done so ; A teacher who just always knows where that comma always goes; and others who are kind and good, Who try to act as Jesus would, Who show God’s love in all they do.
I know a lot of saints, don’t you? ( by Christy Kenneally) One of the most striking aspects of All Saints’ Day is its universality.
Unli ke feasts dedicated to specific saints, this day commemorates all the holy men and women who have faithfully followed Christ, even if their names and deeds are lost to history.
At its heart, All Saints’ Day is an expression of hope.
It points to the transformative power of God’s grace, which turns ordinary people into extraordinary witnesses of love, charity, and faith.
The saints, in all their diversity, provide us with a glimpse of what it means to in communion with God.
It reminds us that sainthood is not limited to a select few who achieved great or accomplished extraordinary feats; rather, it encompasses countless individuals whose lives, while perhaps quiet or humble, were nonetheless deeply rooted in fait h.
These are the mothers and fathers, the workers and neighbours, the ordinary people who lived out thei r discipleship in simple yet profound ways.
This day calls us to remembe r that holiness is not reserved for the few but is open to all of us.
In the Beatitudes which ar read on All Saints’ Day Jesus lays out the path to holiness in a way that is both universal and personal.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, the peacemakers, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
These words reveal that sainthood is less about perfection & more about a life oriented toward God & others.
The saints are models for us, not because they were sinless, but because they allowed God’s grace to work in and through them, even in their weakness Prayer on Lighting a Candle during November: As you hold this candle in your hand, recall the memory of your loved one.
Pray God’s peace and rest on their soul.
Pray also for yourself that God in His infinite love for you will give you peace of mind and heart at this time of brokenness and loss in your life.
May the Souls of all the faithful depa rted rest in peace.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus grant them a place of peace and joy in your Kingdom . Amen God Bless.

November has a special place in our hearts.
As the evenings grow darker and the years draw towards its close, we find ourselves thinking of those who are no longer with us.
All of us have people we miss: a husband or wife, a parent, a brother or sister, a friend or neighbour.
We remember their voices, their smiles, the little things they did, and the memories that remain with us.
Sometimes it is only when we hear a familiar song, visit a favourite place or sit quietly at home that we realise just how much we still miss them.
During November, we are invited to remember our dead in a special way.
We light candles, visit their graves and pray for them, trusting them to the loving care of God.
Grief may never completely leave us, but neither does love.
The people we have loved remain part of who we are.
May this month bring comfort to those who mourn gratitude for the lives we have shared, and hope in the promise that love is stronger than death.
Mass for All Souls Day Monday 2n4 November will be held in St. Brendan's at 9.30am and in St Mary's at 11.00am. Please drop back the blue November envelope with the list of your deceased family and friends as there will be other Mass during the following weeks.

Week beginning 1st November 2026 Feast of All Saints
From the very beginning, the early Christian communities realised the importance of Sunday.
It is the day of Jesus’ Resurrection, a day of joy and rest, as well as charity, Sunday is the Lord’s Day, the day when we are called to remember what God has done and continues to do for us.
This, then, is the day the Lord’s people are called to keep holy together.
The observance begins with the evening of the preceding day.
Early Christians did what Jesus had asked them to do; they gathered and celebrated the meal Jesus had shared wit them, the Eucharist. We also know this as the Mass.
This gathering of the community on a Sunday to celebrate the Eucharist gave rise to a basic principle of the Church: There can be no Sunday without the Eucharist and Eucharist without an assembly of the faithful.
This principle endures to this day. It led Voltaire to declare ‘If you want to kill Christianity, you must abolish Sunday. ’ As members of the Christian community, we are each called to gather with the rest of our faith community on a Sunday to celebrate the Eucharist. The Sunday Mass is the place where we gather as a parish, as a community, as the People of God.
This is at the heart of the life of the Church.
It is the highpoint of our Christian life, where God nourishes us to go out and live as Christians (catholicbishops.ie)
Do you know the purpose of Holy Mass?
The primary purpose of the Holy Mass is to worship God through participation in the re- presentation of Jesus’ passion, death and Resurrection.
The Secondary purpose is to receive Jesus in Holy Communion and thirdly to unite as God’s Church sharing Faith and Thanksgiving.

To put it in a more realistic language: we are called to live in a Christ-like way, to follow His precepts, to take up our cross, and to allow the Spirit to set us on fire with His love in this dark and often negative world.
We are called to love, despite what we would sometimes rather do, and despite what the world instructs us, which is to blame, to judge and to condemn.

Thought for the day: Today we celebrate the community of faith, being in communion with all the saints, a day of both thanksgiving and vision.
Thanksgiving because of the example and inspiration of the saints, who have come to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13).
Vision because our Gospel today describes the path we must take to make the same journey home to God.
If we wish to join the saints both now and into eternity, we must make our own the “mission statement” of Jesus, which is the Sermon on the Mount and especially the opening invitation to true happiness.
Prayer: Jesus you are our teacher within and today we ask your help.
Just as you have brought our brothers and sisters to full maturity in you, so also guide us and be with us as we walk your Way.
By your grace, may we too be counted among the saints in the present moment and in the life to come.
Amen. ( www.tarsus.ie ) Pope Leo XVI on X: I am looking forward to returning to the continent where I’ve experienced so many moments of my life.
May this journey be an occasion for us to open our hearts to one another, strengthen our communion as brothers and sisters, and renew our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel with joy.
The Pope’s Intention for November: For the proper use of wealth.
Let us pray for the proper use of welath, 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.

REFLECTION And so the autumn makes itself known to us in many ways; the trees shedding their leaves; the multi-coloured dead leaves that lie on our pathways, the shorter days and the longer evenings, light gives way to shadow and darkness and thus we are reminded, and indeed remember, our loved ones who have died November is a month with its own energy; it instils in us the gift of remembering those who have gone before us; those who are now on sli na firinne (theway of truth) We remember them and honour their memory, we give thanks for them and their legacies they have left us; perhaps the legacy of integrity, simplicity, peace, and above all, their faith; faith in God and their faith in broken humanity; their understanding from the depth of their being.
In this Month of November let us honour their memory with gratitude and allow their spirits to go free so that we can receive them in abundance.
May their generous souls Rest in Peace FINAL BLESSING Heavenly Father, with the saints to inspire and guide us, may we seek after holiness and thus live lives that are worthy of our Christian dignity; We ask this through Christ our Lord.
God Bless, Fr. Noel 087-2935969

Mon 2 6:00pm Feast of All Souls Mass for All Souls all those remembers on All Souls Lists About Today There’s a reminder of the two great commandments in today’s celebration: we are called to love God and our neighbour: friend, visitor and stranger alike.
Penitential Rite Let us call to mind times we have failed to show love, remembering that God never fails to love and forgive us I confess … Prayer Your love, O God, is boundless.
We who were strangers have been made your children.
We who were defenceless have been brought into your household.
Keep us mindful of your deeds of mercy, that we may love you with our whole heart and love our neighbour as ourselves.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Introduction to the Scripture Readings 1St Reading The people of Israel are re-minded that in bad times they depended on the kindness of strangers.
They should there-fore treat the weak and helpless with com-passion. 2nd.
Reading Paul praises the people of Salonika for their good Christian living, which they had learned from him.
The Gospel Jesus discloses the greatest commandment — love of God and neigh- bour.
Seeing Your Life Though The Lens Of The Gospel Mt 22:34-40 1. You may feel some sympathy with the Jews struggling to cope with 613 laws and wondering which were the important ones.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the rules and regulations of your own tradition?
And have you ever been blessed by meeting someone, or reading something, that was able to cut through all the layers and point out to you what is essential in life? who was that person?
What dids/he say or do? Is there some phrase or text that encapsulates such wisdom for you? 2. If you were asked what is most important in life, what would your answer be?
Recall the experiences and relationships you have had.
Which are the ones that you treasure most?
What has particularly enriched your life?
How would you encourage another person who asked you hows/he could live a full life? 3. In the unusual circumstances of recent years social life was disrupted by Covid.
We had to find unusual and creative ways of showing love to our neighbours.
What ways of reaching out to others did you find were most appreciated?
To receive Holy Communion in the hand, make a "throne" with your hands by placing your non-dominant hand flat on top of your dominant hand, step up to the minister , as he /she says the “Body of Christ ” respond saying Amen, step to the side, con-sume the Host immediately in front of the Altar making a sign of the cross + before turning to walk away.
Vocations This month over different themes we pray for those considering God’s call to the Priesthood in the Diocese of Kerry.
It is among his family that God calls priests his people . Week 4 Setting Sail Those Discerning “Brendaa untied the rope ”. Not remaining on the shore, he knew every vocation begins with trust. God does no reveal the whole journey Only the next faithful step.

A NOTE FROM FR.
As we celebrate this weekend the Feast of All Saints, I'd like to share a powerful sermon by the American preacher John Piper, entitled Don't Waste Your Life.
He began by saying, “The really sad thing is that there are hundreds of you in this crowd who don't want your lives to make a difference.
He spoke about two elderly women in their eighties, Ruby Eliason and Laura Edwards, who had devoted their lives to serving Jesus Christ among the poor and sick in Cameroon.
Both were tragically killed in an accident while carrying out their mission.
Piper asked a very interesting question: “Was this a tragedy?
His answer was no. These women had given their lives to something that would last for eternity.
He contrasted that with an article he had read in Reader's Digest, entitled Start Now, Retire Early. “Bob and Penny took early retirement five years ago from their jobs in the Northeast. He was 59; she was 51. They now live in Punta Gorda, Florida, where they cruise on their 30-foot trawler, play softball and collect shells!" "Now that's a tragedy!
Imagine in the last chapter of your life, standing before the Creator of the universe to give an account of what you did with your life: “Here it is, Lord, my shell collection!
And look at my boat!" It reminded me of the quote attributed to Joan of Arc: “I know this now.
Every man gives his life for what he believes.
Every woman gives her life for what she believes.
Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and yet they give their lives to that little or nothing.
One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it, and then it's gone.
But to surrender what you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying—even more terrible than dying young.
On this Feast of All Saints, let us realise the truth of the words of St. Irenaeus: “The only real tragedy in life is not to become a saint."

A Message from Fr Timothy: My Dear Parishioners & Friends, it is my hope thaty are all fine and doing well.
After the short illness and sad loss of my mother, I want to send a message of thanks to you all.
Although I have been far away from Mill town & Listry during these past weeks, the parish team have been keeping me updated and telling me about the many people who have been praying for me and my family, asking after us, and passing on their good wishes.
I know so many of you have remem bered my mother, Teresia, in your prayers and Mass intentions and for that I am deeply grateful.
Hearing all this while being thousands of miles away has been a grea t comfort to me and my family during this difficult time.
I will remain in Kenya until after my mother's Mont h's Mind Mass and will return on the evening of Thursday, 12th November . While it is important for me to spend this time with my family, I very much miss parish life a nd look forward to being back with you all again soon.
As we approach the month of November, I ask you to remember my mother, Teresia, and especially all our deceased parishioners in your prayers.
November is a time when we remember with love and gratitude those who have gone before us and entrust them to God's mercy.
Be assured that I am r emembering you all and your families in my prayers each day here in Kenya.
Thank you again for your kindness, friendship, and support.
I look forward to seeing you all when I return.

He is compassionate towards the weak; by the same token his anger is directed against those who prey on the weak and the vulnerable.
Second Reading The people to whom Paul writes received the good news of Jesus with great joy, in spite of the opposition they experienced.
In this, they are a model for all whose faith is resisted or deri ded.
Gospel Jesus’ opponents love to ask him difficult questions, but the Lord’s sincerity overwhelms their malice, his truthfulness wins out over their deceitfulness.

Thank you. November - Remembering Those we Love!
November has a special place in our hearts.
As the evenings grow darker and the years draw towards its close, we find ourselves thinking of those who are no longer with us.
All of us have people we miss: a husband or wife, a parent, a brother or sister, a friend or neighbour.
We remember their voices, their smiles, the little things they did, and the memories that remain with us.
Sometimes it is only when we hear a familiar song, visit a favourite place or sit quietly at home that we realise just how much we still miss them.
During November, we are invited to remember our dead in a special way.
We light candles, visit their graves and pray for them, trusting them to the loving care of God.
Grief may never completely leave us, but neither does love.
The people we have loved remain part of who we are.
May this month bring comfort to those who mourn gratitude for the lives we have shared, and hope in the promise that love is stronger than death.
