A Celtic Journey with St. John of the Cross
We would like to share with you two beautiful musical reflections in honour of Our Lady and St John of the Cross recorded by Kerrie O’Connor and friends in our Chapel. We vacated the Chapel one afternoon while they did all the hard work!! The first one is available on youtube and the second will be available for the feast of St John of the Cross on 14th December. We hope you will enjoy. https://youtu.be/R2YGDeZ0haE

Sunday Reflections
3rd Sunday of Easter
Acts 3:13-15, 17-19
1 John 2:1-5
Luke 24:35-48
Our Gospel Readings for the last two Sundays have been from the Gospel of Saint John. Saint John, the disciple Jesus loved, witnessed more than most of the disciples all the happenings around the time of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. John is known as the theologian of the Apostles and he is able to give us a very deep and authentic insight into the life of the Lord and into the meaning of His mission to redeem and save the world.
Today we read from the gospel of Saint Luke. Luke is known as the ‘Portrait Painter’ evangelist: he portrays real life: he shows us the personalities of the gospels: he speaks of everyday things: he touches on real human emotions. In today’s gospel Luke, while describing the early post-Resurrection Church, touches on many of his favourite themes; Joy in the Lord; table fellowship; fulfilment of prophesies; divine forgiveness; the call to be witnesses.
