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

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 1st 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.”
