Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Abraham bargained with God. Jesus told us to ask…search…knock. The point of asking is not as if God does not already know our needs. Nor is it to twist the arm of an unwilling God. Perseverance in asking helps to change us, to make us grow in our dependence on God, and to lose the selfishness inherent in our desires by becoming more attuned to God’s will. Some people are afraid of God’s will in a fatalistic way when something sad or difficult happens. No, God’s will 100% full of love, beauty, truth and the enhancement of life. The most beautiful prayer for anybody is to wish God’s will for them.
We pay tribute to the hard working Cemetery Committee in the Island on completing the extension of Killickfeehan Cemetery. The extension project started in Oct 2006 and was officially blessed on 14th Aug 2008 by Fr Seamus Dunican (RIP) and on 4th June 2010 it was completed with the laying of footpaths throughout the cemetery. Thanks to all involved and to all the households who provided refreshments for the men folk for the duration of this voluntary work. The slide show takes a look at the work in progress.
