The Baptism of the Lord, Year A, January 8th, 2017. Bulletin No: 1145.

Reflection:- The Call to Service MASS TIMES: Sunday Holy Days Jesus was thirty years old when he began his public ministry. 8.30am, 10am (Irish) 6.30pm (Vigil), 9am 11.30am, 5.30pm 11.30am, 6.30pm How did he come to that decision and why did he wait so long to begin the real work of his life? The simple answer is: prior to this Saturdays Monday he wasn’t ready. Jesus was a teacher, not of a subject such as 9am, 6.30pm (Vigil) 9am, 6.30pm history which can b learnt out of books, but of religion, or better, spirituality. Spirituality has to be lived before it can be taught Tuesday - Friday 9am, No Evening Mass effectively. This is why time is important. Before the age of about thirty, what experience has a person to draw on? CONFESSIONS: Saturday The first thirty years he spend at Nazareth were not a waste of 10.30 - 11.30 a.m. valuable time. They were of crucial importance to him. During 5.30 - 6.15 p.m. those years he was growing, maturing and ripening. The day he BAPTISMS: was baptised by John he didn’t suddenly become a different Celebrated on the First Sunday and Third person. ‘No single event can awaken in us a stranger completely Saturday of the month, arrangements having unknown to us.’ (Antoine de Saint Exupery). On that day he been made in person at the presbytery giving began to reap the harvest from what had been growing within three weeks notice. him. On that day he answered another call. EUCHARISTIC ADORATION: Daily The desire to give himself to serving his brothers and sisters of the Chapel open from 7.30 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. wider community did not come to him suddenly. It had been sounding inside him during his years in his homeland of Nazareth. Divine Mercy: Wednesdays from 2.45 p.m. to 3.45 p.m. Nevertheless, baptism was a very special moment in his life. This was the moment when he decided to commit himself to it and Miraculous Medal Novena is prayed at both begin it. Masses on Monday.

There is a great lesson for us in all of this. We must not write off Holy Hour follows Monday evening Mass. any part of our lives as useless, or any experience as a waste. Benediction after Saturday evening Mass. Everything gives us an opportunity to grow. Life calls for a lot of patient waiting. But we must not wait for something great to PARISH STAFF: happen. We must live the present moment to the full. The future Fr. Padraig Gleeson Adm. T: 01 2854653 is contained in the present. The future will be blossoming in the M: 086 3549538 present.
