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 Reflection
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time 2025
Exodus 17:8-13
2 Timothy 3:14 - 4:2
Luke 18:1-8
“Will not God see justice done to his chosen who cry to Him day and night even when he delays to help them?” (Lk 18:8)
If we give children everything they want or ask for we know that there will be problems later on in life. The lesson we learn from today’s Gospel reading is that we need to persevere in prayer because we can learn far more in waiting calmly for God to act than we might if every favour we asked for was instantly granted.
The teaching of Jesus in the Gospels reassures us of God’s loving care and that God’s justice will prevail. However, there may be a delay in the working out of events before God’s answer is clearly recognised. Perseverance is one of the great qualities of prayer.
