SUMMER MASS & BLESSING OF GRAVES IN ST. PATRICKS CEMETERY
Mass for those buried in St Patricks Cemetery will be celebrated outdoors – weather permitting – on Thursday 28th July at 7.30pm. The Cemetery Mass is an opportunity to pray for the repose of the souls of those buried in the cemetery. A Cemetery Mass and blessing of the graves is a unique community celebration and indeed a thanksgiving for those who have gone before us.
Perhaps even more profoundly the Cemetery Mass is an intimate personal encounter with a loved one who has died. When we stand by the grave of a loved one we remember the day when we carried or followed the coffin into that space and it marks the spot where we said our last formal public goodbye. And yet while death is such a painful parting and experience of loss, the one thing that death cannot do is take away the love we shared with the one who has died.
For the blessing of the graves, you may wish to bring a small Holy Water bottle which will be blessed at the start of Mass, so you can bless the graves of your loved ones afterwards.
Further details will be given in the coming weeks.
Padre Pio Weekend at Knock Shrine:
September 17th and 18th: This weekend is organised. Fr Bryan Shortall, OFM Cap., who will be the Master of Ceremonies. Ceremonies on Saturday in St. Johns Rest and Care Centre commence at 2pm and conclude with a Holy Hour at 7.30pm. This year the main celebrant and homilist on Sunday is His Excellency Cardinal Sean Brady.
We come in peace
God save all here is a traditional Irish blessing, spoken on entering someones home or arriving at a gathering. It was also used as a general greeting when entering a public house, and is often heard in films depicting life in early 20th century Ireland. Other variations traditionally spoken on crossing a threshold include God bless all here or God bless all in this house. While not in use as much these days, such greetings serve to set the tone for a visit. They indicate that the visitor has come in peace, with good wishes for all present he or she bears no ill will to anyone.
Today Jesus recommends a specific greeting for his disciples to use when entering a home: Peace to this house! Whatever house the disciples go into, this should be their greeting. Like the traditional Irish blessings, these words set a tone. Jesus explains that if a person of peace lives in that house, your peace will go and rest on him. The peace blessing offered by the disciples will spread to those they meet. Peace should be our number one consideration in our dealings with others. Tríona Doherty
Thought for the Day
Angels around us, angels beside us, angels within us. Angels are watching over you when times are good or stressed. Their wings wrap gently around you, whispering you are loved and blessed.

Inislounaght Celebrates: Last Friday evening, the residents of Inislounaght Estate celebrated their 40th “birthday” as an estate. In all there are 30 homes on the estate and of the present occupants 12 families have been their since it opened 40 years ago. There was a celebratory Mass at 5pm at which the Inislounaght Choristers sang. Refreshments followed. There was also a sports competition for the young children. It was great to see families who had lived on the estate but who had moved on to different areas returning for this occasion. Thanks to Ann-Marie Farrell and her committee who organised the whole event.
Area Masses: Apropos of the success and goodwill generated by the Inislounaght experience, wouldn’t it be nice if other estates and community groups followed Inislounaght’s example. Area Masses are a great way of building up a sense of community spirit and cohesion in our area.
Wedding Bells: Congratulations to Matthew Ryan, Bianconi Drive and Beata Kudha, Wolfetone St & Poland who were married last Sunday in Borego, Poland. Congratulations also to Conor Hogan, Inislounaght and Fiona Hogan, Glenconnor who were married last Saturday in Marlfield.

If interested call Maria on 61 22773. Boxes are available at Parish Office in the Crying Room in Church. Maria is present 10am—11am Monday to Friday and at weekend Mass times.

We thank them for their cooperation and enthusiasm whilst with us at Primary School.
Retirement: This week sees the retirement of Jimmy Ryan as Principal of St Mary’s CBS Primary and Moira McCausland as Deputy Principal. Both have served St Mary’s School and Parish exceptionally well. During his time as Principal, Jimmy brought many new initiatives to St Mary’s and was always energetic in promoting St Mary’s as a school where every child was valued, cherished and encouraged to develop their own particular talents and gifts. We thank Jimmy for his great stewardship and leadership and he can be assured he left an indelible mark on the progress of St Mary’s. Jimmy and Moira, enjoy your retirement and thanks a million for all you have done for St Marys.
Thank You: The staff of St Mary’s CBS would like to thank most sincerely all those who helped to make the recent retirement mass and celebrations for Jimmy Ryan so special. They thank especially Hotel Minella and Hewitt’s Bakery for their generosity. A huge thank you also to all the parents who helped on the day of the Mass. It was very much appreciated.
New Principal: Eoin Morrissey has been appointed as Principal of St Mary’s CBS Primary School in succession to Jimmy Ryan who has retired. We welcome Eoin and wish him may years of leadership in St Mary’s.

A special ceremony of re-dedication will take place at Knock Basilica on Saturday 16th July to mark 40 years of the original dedication of Knock Basilica on 18th July 1976. The Basilica originally held the title Church of Our Lady, Queen of Ireland; however it was raised to the status of Basilica during the Papal visit of 1979. The coinciding visit of the Archdiocese of Boston, led by Cardinal Seán OMalley is perfectly providential in echoing the dream of Monsignor James Horan to bring pilgrims to Knock from all over the world. The Boston group, accompanied by the Mayor of Boston, Marty Walsh, will arrive in to Knock Airport on Thursday 14th July. All are welcome to attend the special Mass of Rededication at 3.00pm on Saturday 16th July. For info www.knockshrine.ie/pilgrimageseason.

A parable brought to life
Listeners to Joe Duffys Liveline radio programme may have heard the story earlier in the summer of an American tourist who was beaten and robbed of his valuables during a violent mugging in Dublin. Forty-six-year-old Donnie Brown, who was travelling alone on his first holiday in Ireland, was attacked after stopping to ask a woman for directions back to his hostel. The gang held a knife to his throat and stole his wallet, bag, and phone, before leaving him lying bloodied in a lane. Donnie recalled how he had found help in a local shop and from Gardaí who drove him around the area in the hope of identifying his attackers. However, after his story was aired on the radio, he experienced a real outpouring of kindness. A bed and breakfast owner offered him free accommodation, and he received more than 40 offers of help from all over Ireland, including free use of a rental car. I feel like Ive won the lottery, he said afterwards. Its extraordinary that such a horrific experience could end with someone feeling so blessed. The man in todays parable must have felt something similar, to be treated with such generosity, from an unexpected source, after his ordeal. Those who helped Donnie in Dublin didnt know him or have any reason to help him. Their kindness to a stranger was very much in the spirit of the Good Samaritan we hear about today.

The Host with the Most
Which one are you? Its such a familiar story. Think of the last time you had friends or family over for a meal or a gathering. Were you more of a Mary or a Martha? Many of us fall more easily into one category than the other the host with the most who is always up to their eyes with the cooking and catering and table clearing; or the chatterer who is happy to leave the washing up until later?
At face value, I dont think Jesus is saying we shouldnt be hospitable and look after our guests, offering them food or drinks. Like many, I really feel for Martha in this story. She had welcomed Jesus into her home, was looking after him and busying herself with serving him, while her sister was too busy listening to Jesus to offer to help. It is no wonder that Martha complained. After all, someone had to do the practical work. Martha may have wanted to spend time with her guest too but then, who would have served him?
The key is in Jesuss words. He does not criticise Martha for her efforts, but rather gently rebukes her for worrying and fretting about so many things. She is so distracted and bogged down in her work that she has forgotten to spend time with Jesus. This is familiar territory for many of us. We are often distracted and busy. Do we make space to sit at the Lords feet and listen? Can we take time each day, perhaps, for a Scripture reading?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we
discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Class Re-Union: The Leaving Cert Class of 1961 of Cistercian College Roscrea met last Saturday. It was great to meet all the lads again. Sadly many had passed to their eternal reward. The Class of ‘61 are scattered all over the world, but many travelled back for the occasion. That year (1961) four of the class entered the monastery. All four were present on Saturday. Only one of the four continued on in the priesthood. One became a cardiac surgeon in San Francisco. Another a teacher and author of children’s books in Co. Offaly, the other, worked as an executive with the E.E.C. In Geneva.

The Open Door
How do you pray? Is there a right or a wrong way of doing it? Should we pray lying in bed or kneeling at the altar, alone or in company, in the church or out in nature, in stillness and silence or with tambourines and songs of praise? The first disciples werent quite sure how to go about things, and today we see them approach Jesus to ask him Lord, teach us to pray. In response, he gave them the words of what we now know as the Our Father. But he had some more advice for the disciples too keep praying! If you were to call on a friend for help in the middle of the night, Jesus says, your persistence alone would convince him to help. If a child asks for food, his parents will naturally grant him what he asks for. The message is clear we just have to keep asking. Jesus often withdrew to quiet places to spend time alone in prayer, and we know from the Passion accounts that he cried out to God in moments of anguish and desperation. There are many different ways to pray. It matters less where and how we choose to pray, than the fact that we choose to pray at all. If we keep asking, if we keep the lines of communication open, God will grant us what is good.

Village Dump
During the next few days passer-by’s will see evidence of digging in what used to be the Marlfield Village dump. However it is not treasure seekers or amateur archaeologists but the village Tus scheme planting bluebells. This is an ideal area as it is fully open in early spring before the growth of tree foliage makes it dark and void of undergrowth. All going well this should be a colourful and cheerful corner in early spring.
Wild Flower Garden
The wild flower bed planted near the Pond Life sanctuary took off in spectacular fashion last week after the rain and now is a lovely treat for the eye. The selection of wild flower seed was chosen for its ability to attract bees, butterflies and other similar friendly insects. The colourful plants are evidently working as it is some time since so many insects could be seen in one place all busy feeding and pollinating Much of our countryside has been converted to monoculture due to sprays and intensive single crop and this is the village making an effort to redress the balance of nature

Cemetery Mass
Many thanks to all who attended the mass in St Patricks Cemetery last Thursday. The rain held off and the sun shone as we celebrated and remembered all our loved ones. Thanks especially to John and the groundsmen who erected the canopies, and set up the benches from the chapel. Also thanks to the extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, and Ministers of the Word from all the various parishes who attended. Special thanks also to Gillian, Eamon and Maria who provided the very fitting music. It was a lovely tribute to all our loved ones – and those long forgotten, who repose in this sacred place.
May they Rest in Peace. Amen.

They will live in the Parish residence and we will ask them to introduce themselves at the Sunday Masses.

Trim and Cut
The heavy gang were in action in Marlfield burial grounds on Saturday morning and with three mowers going full out they made short work of it. The new mowers were in action and the result was a lovely finish all done in dry conditions and home in time for lunch. Well done lads.
Heritage Trail
The work of erecting the final four Marlfield Heritage Trail signs has started and the frames have to be set in concrete to ensure stability. When done the trail will have twelve areas of interest with signage and wall plaques detailing the particular subject.
Why Why
Some kind creature threw a microwave, a few cushions and some bags of carefully selected household rubbish over the wall at Marlfield Lake. This act had to be carried out by a motorist as the size of the objects rule out the use of bicycles, baby’s buggies and backpacks. If you see anyone dumping a call to Tipperary Co. Council with a few details will help to deter this type of very anti-social behaviour

Watching and Waiting
We do not like to wait. Listening to a radio discussion recently about the ever-increasing role technology plays in our lives, one panellist described how her smartphone had become almost like an extension of her arm. We dont know how to be alone or to have free time anymore, she lamented. If were waiting for a friend or family member, the slightest delay has us reaching for our phones to catch up on emails, social media or the latest news. Delayed flights, or food that doesnt arrive promptly in a restaurant, can make us impatient and jittery. We have lost the art of waiting.
Yet Jesus regularly emphasises the importance of waiting. But it is clear that it is not the sort of waiting where we can sit around scrolling through our phones there is an art to it. We must be awake and dressed for action and have our lamps lit, ready to go. We must be ready to open the door to the master when he knocks.
The waiter described in todays Gospel is a devoted servant, eagerly awaiting his masters return. We dont know when Jesus will return, but we are called to live in constant vigilance and readiness. Let us not be found asleep on the job, or distracting ourselves with the trivial things in life! Tríona Doherty

Daily Ceremonies will be streamed live at www.knockshrine.ie/watch.
