Christmas Reflection

2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Wedding at Cana

Isaiah 62:1-5

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

John 2:1-11

We have just finished celebrating the liturgical Season of Epiphany but epiphany still goes on! ‘Epiphany’ means manifestation, showing or revelation. For Christians this epiphany is the revelation to us of Jesus as Word made flesh and beloved Son of the Father. But it does not end until we come to the fullness of revelation when, at last, we will see God face to face.

The story of the Wedding Feast at Cana (our gospel for today) might be seen as another stage of the process of epiphany. We are all familiar with the first stage of this season of Epiphany, when we celebrated the coming of the three Wise-men to Bethlehem. They represented all of us outside Jerusalem, the Gentiles, and pointed us towards the new-born King. They bow down in Adoration and offer gifts. They prompt us to do the same; adore the Lord and bring our gifts to his service.

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.
