St Matthews Ballyfermot Ordinary Time 19th Sunday


Posted on: 7 August, 2010

Ballyfermot

Be ready! In Luke's gospel Jesus challenges his disciples to trust the Father's promise to give them eternal happiness in His kingdom. But they are to be prepared at all times, because the Son of Man may come at an unexpected hour either at the moment of their death or at the end of the world. Using the master-servant parable Jesus reminds us to do the will of God always by obeying Jesus’ commandment of love by doing humble and sacrificial service to others. Using the master- thief parable Jesus warns us to be on our guard so that the thief- the devil - may not take our treasure of divine grace by his temptations.

Please pray for those recently deceased
Paddy Keane, Rossmore Rd Treasa Condon, Palmerstown Court Fr Joseph Kett
