Deuteronomy 8: 2-3, 14-16

1 Corinthians 10: 16-17

John 6: 51-58

As Jesus ascended to the Father His final words to the Apostles were “And know that I am with you always: yes, to the end of time” (Matt 28: 20). That promise echoed in the ears of the apostles but they were to come to a true understanding of it only with the help of the Holy Spirit given to them at Pentecost. Jesus was to be with them and with His Church through His real Presence and through his caring for them and feeding them.

It is extraordinary to read through the Scriptures and find the number of times where hunger, eating and the revelation of God are connected. In the 1^st Reading of today’s Mass Moses speaks to the people: “He humbled you, He made you feel hunger, He fed you with manna which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to make you understand that we do not live on bread alone but on everything that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”

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.
