Sunday Reflection

Trinity Sunday 2026

Trinity

Exodus 34: 4-6, 8-9

2 Corinthians 13: 11-13

John 3: 16-18

When it comes to considering the Blessed Trinity we are sometimes inclined to over-philosophise and reduce our meditation and contemplation to mental gymnastics and theological words and terms. The doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity is a mystery! This mystery is something to be savoured and accepted through the gift of Faith which has recently been enriched through our liturgical celebrations of Easter and Pentecost.

When Jesus came to ‘explain’ the Trinity He did it one-to-one. Nicodemus came to Jesus in the dead of night – so that no one could see him! But the ‘dead of night’ and the silence of the hour was the perfect setting for Jesus to reveal to Nicodemus the Life of God and God’s plan for the world. Jesus explained: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life”. This is a summary of the entire message of evangelisation, the Good News. God loved us so much and God sent Jesus to save us in the power of the Spirit.

Sr. Breda McInerney (1935-2024)

Sr Brida

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Sr Breda McInerney.

Born on 1st February 1935 at Cooraclare, Co Clare. Breda joined the Nazareth Sisters after her secondary school years and taught in their schools in Australia until she decided to be a Carmelite. In 1985 Sr. Breda came to Ireland and joined Firhouse Carmel. In 2017 she transferred to Roebuck after the sad closure of Firhouse.

Sr Breda was always interested in people and their concerns and was very zealous in her prayer for all. We are confident that she will continue to bring our concerns to the Lord on our behalf and that she will intercede for us all.

Always interested in sport she was an avid follower of the GAA and was keenly interested in rugby.

After suffering for years with heart problems it finally gave up on her and she died peacefully and serenely in the Monastery aided by the wonderful care of our doctors and the hospice nurses.

May she rest in eternal peace.
