Re-dedication of Knock Basilica on Saturday 16th July 2016
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 O’Malley 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 Duffy’s 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 I’ve won the lottery,’ he said afterwards. It’s extraordinary that such a horrific experience could end with someone feeling so blessed. The man in today’s 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 didn’t 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.
