MUSINGS
Reflecting on the Gospel brings home the reality of The Trinity and is so powerful in emphasising the unity of Christ’s
followers in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Many years ago, my parents taught me how to make The Sign of
The Cross and at my Dublin national school this was reinforced where I was taught to make The Sign of the Cross when
passing a Church and when seeing a hearse go by. How beautiful and uplifting it is to witness today’s young Catholics
continue to engage in this simple and yet powerful ritual. As a grandparent, I delight when I see my youngest
grandchildren in their first attempts to copy their parents making this great sign of faith. How lovely it is to witness the
youngest member of the family begin family meals by leading the grace before meals.

Thought for the Week
“Let us learn from the Virgin Mary how to be bolder in obeying
the Word of God” - Pope Francis
THE DEEP END • Don’t’ Worry
They say a problem shared is a problem halved. ‘Don’t worry’
is one of the most reassuring things that a friend can say.
Isn’t it a relief when someone assures us there is no need to
fret or worry, that everything will be okay? If only for a
moment, we can breathe a sigh of relief, take the pressure off
ourselves. Even if things are messy now, we dare to hope
that all will be well.
The words of Jesus in today’s Gospel are very reassuring. ‘Do
not let your hearts be troubled or afraid,’ he says. ‘My own
peace I give you.’
Jesus was speaking these words to his disciples shortly before
his Passion and death. He knew the time was coming for him
to leave them. All was certainly not well, and his disciples
surely knew that some difficult times were ahead. But Jesus
was offering hope and consolation. Don’t worry, he says. I am
giving you the gift of peace, a peace the world cannot give.
Don’t be afraid. The Holy Spirit will be with you to guide you
and teach you. When our hearts are troubled and restless, let
us reach for these words of Jesus.
‘You have formed us for yourself, and our hearts are restless
till they find rest in you.’ St Augustine of Hippo

we have sent over 300,000 but many more are needed.
These Rosaries have led to the lapsed returning o their
faith and to conversions. Please search your cupboards
and drawers for surplus Rosaries and help us to get them
into the hands of those who will Love, Cherish
and Pray them.
