Oblate Pastoral Area Newsletter

Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 10th June 2018

The Blessed Sacrament The Pastoral Area Masses & Confessions On Sunday 3rd May 2018 we celebrated Mary Immaculate the wonderful Feast of Corpus Christi or the Body of Christ. This feast was Sundays: (Vigil) Sat 7pm, introduced by the Church to help us to 8am, 11am, 7pm reflect on and to thank Christ for this Weekdays Mon – Fri 7am great gift. The Eucharist was instituted 10am, 7pm, Sat 11am by Jesus Christ during the Last Supper Holy Days 7pm (Vigil), 7am, when He gathered with His disciples the 10am, 7pm night before He died on Calvary. During Holy Days that fall on a Saturday this meal Jesus prayed for His disciples (and us) and stressed the importance of 7pm (Vigil), 11am, 7pm them being united and supportive of Confessions Sat 10.30 - 11am & each other. He gave us the Eucharist as 6.30 - 7pm a sign of our unity with Him and with each other. However the Eucharist must St Michael’s never be seen as just a relationship between Jesus and me. It binds us into the Sundays (Vigil) Sat 6.30pm community of disciples as St Paul tells us in his letter to the 1 Corinthians Sunday 9am & 11am (Family) 10:17 “ …. we are one body, for we all share the one bread.” It is meant to Weekdays (Mon – Fri) 10am strengthen us for the journey of life and to enable us to give witness to Him by Liturgy of the Word & Communion on our daily living and active concern for others. In giving us the Eucharist we Wednesdays at 10am have one expression of Jesus’ promise to be with us until the end of time. St Michael’s Church is open from 9am-12pm Monday to Friday

Do you wish to honour the body of Christ? Do not ignore him when he is naked. Do not honour here in the church clothed in Our Lady of the Wayside silk vestments and then pass him by unclothed and frozen outside. Remember that Sundays (Vigil) Sat 6.30pm, (Folk) he who said ‘This is my body’ is the same who said: ‘You saw me hungry and you gave me no food’, and ‘in so far as you did not to one of these, you did not also to 8.30am, 11am (Family) me.’ In the first sense the body of Christ does not need clothing but worship from Weekdays Mon -Fri 9.30am a pure heart. In the second sense, it does need clothing and all the care we can give it… What good is it if the Eucharistic table is overloaded with golden Saturday 10am chalices when your brother/sister is dying of hunger? Start by satisfying their Holy Days (Vigil) 6.30pm, 10am hunger and then with what is left you may adorn the altar as well… Consider that Confessions Sat 10.30am & 6pm Christ is that tramp who comes in need of a night’s lodging. You turn him away and then start laying rugs on the floor, draping the walls, hanging lamps on silver chains on the columns. Meanwhile the tramp is locked up in prison and you never Parish Office Hours give him a glance. Well again I am not condemning munificence in these matters. No one was ever condemned for not adorning your house… Make your house Mary Immaculate: Mon-Fri 9am - 5pm beautiful by all means but also look after the poor, or rather look after the poor Closed from 1pm - 2pm first. Adorn your house if you will, but do not forget your brother/sister in distress. S/he is a temple of infinitely greater value. St Michael’s: Mon-Fri 9.30am 12.30pm Saint John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) Bluebell: Mon-Fri 9am - 1pm

Joe O’Mahony and his daughters Laura, Sinead and family, wish to acknowledge the many expressions of sympathy and gestures of kindness shown to them following the sad loss of Cáit. Thanks to the Oblate Community, Inchicore Variety Group, local choirs and medical staff for their support and prayers. Our heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbours and for all those who helped in any way to make our loss more bearable. Thanks also for the generous donations made to Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross and to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association on behalf of Cáit. Mass will be offered for your intentions. Rest in Peace Cáit O’Mahony As part of his thirty years as an Oblate in South Africa, Fr John Poole ministered to the Zulu people living in the Valley of 1000 Hills, which is situated between Durban on the coast Pietermaritzbury 80km North West of Africa. In his first booklet: Banthubahle: Stories from Valley of 1000 Hills, the author’s reflections are captured in ten short stories with illustrations that help the reader to enter into the uniqueness of the Zulu people’s way of life. His second publication is in the form of a short play entitled: Thusi and the House of Lies that the Dominican Zulu sisters of Montebello staged in a celebration following a series of retreats. “Thusi wanted to become rich very quickly, by means that were rapid shortcuts, and this lead to the need for lies and dishonesty. He built a false house for himself… and became an artisan of his own bad luck.” Both booklets are on sale in the Oblate House of Retreat and in the Oblate Pilgrimage Office and Gift Shop at €5 each.
