The season of Lent offers us an opportunity for reflection. We are encouraged to stop, to take a look at our lives, and to see where we are going. It is at this time of the year that we are urged to step out of our usual patterns of life and become more aware of our relationships, with ourselves, with others and with God. We are invited to turn away from the busyness of everyday life and turn once again towards God. Perhaps one of the following suggestions may be of help to you during Lent.
Parish Mass times for weekdays of Lent are;
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday: 7am & 9:30am
- Thursday: 7am & 7:30pm
Stations of the Cross will take place after 9.30am mass on Wednesday and Friday.
Eucharistic Adoration every Thursday and Saturday in St. Mochumma room.
Thursday – 2.00pm – 7.15pm
Saturday – 10.30 – 5.45pm
Trocaire Boxes are now available in the Church. Donating money to those in poverty and injustice is a great Christian practice. Also a good lesson for our children.
Take Five minutes, an odd day or every day, to talk to God. Bring your thanks and your needs to him and ask his guidance.
A Prayer with your Children: Do you ever say a pray with your young children? In our busy world it’s no harm to remind them that God is important to you and important in their lives. Why not say one simple prayer before they go to bed or as you kiss them goodnight. Any prayer you like. They learn this one in school.
‘God our Father we come to say thank you for your love today, thank you for my family and all the friends you gave to me, guard me in the dark of night and in the morning send your light’. Amen
