Today's Mass readings
Thought for Today
Sunday's Mass Readings

Because He is risen, Spring is possible in all the cold hard places gripped by winter.
And freedom jumps the queue to take fear’s place as our focus.
Because he is risen.

And because he is risen a fire burns in my bones
And my eyes see possibilities and my heart hears hope
Like a whisper on the wind and the song that rises in me will not be silenced.
As life disrupts this shadowed place of death
Like a butterfly under the skin and death itself runs terrified to hide
Because He is risen.

Because He is risen my future is an epic novel
Where once it was a mere short story, my contract on life is renewed in perpetuity
My options are open-ended, my travel plans are cosmic
Because He is risen.

Because He is risen hunger will go begging in the streets for want of a home
And selfishness will have a shortened shelf-life
And we will throng to the funeral of famine
And dance on the callous grave of war
And poverty will be history in our history because he is risen.
Thank You God That Jesus Is Risen!

• Clothes Collections: Please remind parishioners that there are several leaflets being dropped into homes, purporting to be genuine charitable clothes collections, which may be bogus. Recently one was circulated claiming to be involved with local Churches – but when we checked out the telephone numbers given on them,  none was in operation. Well known Irish Charities, such as Enable Ireland and the Irish Cancer Society, who leave bags for collection always use valid phone numbers and charity numbers. Established charities, including the Vincent de Paul rely on clothes collections for vital income and are being significantly affected by the bogus collections
