Sunday Reflections

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

The widows mite

1 Kings 17:10-16

Hebrews 9:24-28

Mark 12:38-44

The disciples of Jesus had arrived in Jerusalem and were amazed at the very different atmosphere of the big city and at the people who lived there. They experienced something of the Pharisees and the Scribes when they visited the area of the Temple. They witnessed Jesus teaching and answering questions and indeed learned more and more about what it meant to be disciples.

The outstanding teaching of Jesus from the first encounter with the Scribes, which was the subject of last Sunday’ gospel reading, was that as well as Love for God, we must love our neighbour ‘as ourselves’. This really struck home the essence of Christian love. The message of today’s scripture readings seems to be that we must love our neighbour even more than we love ourselves!!

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.
