“Céad míle fáilte” - Iris Nuachta WMOF2018: Last Sunday we received some kind offers of help with the Portuguese language for host families and for parishioners. We hope to offer a few words and expressions to the host families of the parish who met on Thursday last with other host families from the parishes of Ashbourne, Kells, Dunshaughlin and Navan. The Carmelite Family have announced that the relics of Ss Louis & Zélie Martin and of their youngest daughter St Thérese of Lisieux will be brought to Ireland in the coming weeks. On Thursday the Garda traffic plan and transport hubs for the Papal Mass was announced. Our WMOF office is now accepting payments for bus transport toRDS, Croke Park & Phoenix Park. Open: 9:30am - 12:30pm - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.

We thank Tony Shannon his reflections at weekday Masses, his help with the duty phone, his support and help in organising different parish events during the last three weeks of his pastoral placement with us in Navan. Please continue to keep Tony in your prayers as he continues discerning his vocation.

PRAYER FOR THE WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES

God, our Father, We are brothers and sisters in Jesus your Son,

One family, in the Spirit of your love. Bless us with the joy of love.

Make us patient and kind, gentle and generous,

welcoming to those in need. Help us to live your forgiveness and peace. Protect all families with your loving care, Especially those for whom we now pray:

[We pause and remember family members and others by name].

Increase our faith, Strengthen our hope,

Keep us safe in your love, Make us always grateful

for the gift of life that we share. This we ask, through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Mary, mother and guide, pray for us. Saint Joseph, father and protector, pray for us.

Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us. Saints Louis and Zélie Martin, pray for us.

HYMN FOR TODAY

In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour in wine we offer you our spirit's grief.

We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour? But stand united now, in one belief.

For we have gladly heard your Word, your holy Word and now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.

Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew, our life belongs to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,

and it becomes for us our spirit’s food. Over the cup we bring, your Word is spoken;

Make it your gift to us, your healing blood. Take all that daily toil, plants in our heart’s poor soil,

Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream. The chances we have missed, the graces we resist,

Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

Message from Fr. Declan: “My thanks to all who joined with me last Sunday in the celebration of my Silver Jubilee. I am deeply humbled by the kindness of everybody. Please continue to pray for me and for all priests.”
