The
5 New Mysteries of the Rosary.
1. The Baptism of Jesus
2. The Wedding at Cana
3. Proclamation of the Kingdom
4. The Transfiguration
5. Institution of the Eucharist
The Pope has called them the Mysteries of Light, and suggests
we pray them on Thursdays.
In general, these new mysteries invite us to pray and meditate
on some of main events of the Public Life of Jesus.
The Joyful deal with the infancy and hidden life; the Sorrowful
with the Passion, and the Glorious with the events after the Passion.
Christ is the Light of the World and this truth emerges in a special
way during the years of his public life when He proclaims the
Gospel of the Kingdom,
Each of these mysteries is a revelation of the Kingdom now present
in the person of Christ. At the Baptism in the Jordan Christ descends
into the waters, the innocent one became "sin" for our
sakes. The heavens open and the voice of the Father declares Him
the beloved Son. (cf. Mt. 17) while the Spirit descends on Him
to invest Him with his mission.
At Cana Christ changed the water into wine, the first of the
signs given by Jesus at the request of his Mother, his first and
best disciple and believer.(John 2: 1-12) Here He opens the hearts
of his disciples to faith.
Another mystery is the Proclamation of the Coming of the Kingdom
of God. He calls to conversion and forgives the sins of all who
draw near to Him in humble trust, a ministry of mercy, continued
in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. (Mark 1:15, John 20: 22-23.)
The mystery of Light par excellence is the Transfiguration on
Mount Thabor where the glory of the Godhead shone round Him and
the voice of the Father cried to the astonished Apostles, "listen
to Him". (Luke 9:35) It prepared them for the agony of the
Passion.
In many ways the other four mysteries find their fulfilment in
the Institution of the Eucharist. Christ offers his Body and Blood
as food under the signs of bread and wine, and testifies to the
end his love for humanity, for whose salvation He will offer Himself
in sacrifice. (John 13: 1)
At Cana Mary told the disciples to do whatever He would tell them.
This counsel forms a fitting introduction to the words and signs
of Christ's public ministry and is the Marian foundation for all
"the Mysteries of Light".

Think About It
Don't let your parents down,
they brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey,
You may give orders some day.
Chose your companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts, what you think
Is what you are.
Be master of your habits
or they will master you.
Pay attention when you drive,
Drive safely and arrive.
Resist pressure, stand up,
Or you'll fall for anything.
Keep God in your life,
He is always there for you.
Prayer
for Vocations
God
our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we
received in Baptism touch the hearts of many to offer themselves
in priesthood, religious life, and other forms of service. Give
the parents and families of our parish, the wisdom and courage
to support young people, in searching for and following the call
of God in their lives
The One-Sentence Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.

My Great Great
Grandparents John Long who married Mary Davenport, were
from Kilmurry. They had 4 children that I know of, two
of whom Peter Long and Denis Long were born in 1844
and 1846 respectively. I am presuming therefore that
John and Mary would have been born in the period 1800/1810
approx. I don't have dates of birth for their two other
sons Jack Long who married a Hannah Linehan in 1871
and Jeremiah Long who remained unmarried.
I know that Denis Long married Abbey(Gobnait) Sullivan
on the 31 July 1869 in Cloghduve. (This is my line).
Gobnait is supposed to be from Lissarda and was the
daughter of Thomas (Thomas Rua) Sullivan and Mary Connor.
Gobnait was baptised Abigail and she was born on the
25 November 1848 and she is reputed to have had 3 brothers
Jeremiah, John and James and 1 sister. Denis Long was
living in Kilcondy at the time of his marriage to Abbey.
I am wondering whether perhaps it might be possible
for me to establish any information about John Long
and Mary Davenport from your Church records. Any help
and assistance which you can give me in this regard
would be very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Sean Long
Dear All,
Congratulations on an excellent Website. This is my
first visit and I certainly will be re-visiting.
Now to the purpose of my email. I recently visited Kilmurry
searching for the grave of my grandfather and his people,
but to no avail. They lived in the townland of Castlemore
and despite of our best efforts we found nothing. However
talking to some locals and others since I understand
that Fr Tim O Sullivan of Cloughduv is putting the parish
records on CD. I would be very interested in this when
it is available. Perhaps you could advise me on the
progress of this project.
For the record this is my family history in regards
to Castlemore:
My grandfather, Timothy Sullivan was born in Castlemore
in 1854. We don't know when but he moved to Cork City
where he became an agent for the Prudential Insurance
Company.His first wife, Annie died in 1898. I know nothing
more about her as the only evidence is her death certificate.
He maried his second wife, Hanna Coleman, in 1899. She
was from Glanmire and she was my grandmother.
Timothy died on the 10 May 1927 and the newspaper notice
says that he was buried at 'South Kilmurry' Hence my
searching the local cemetaries.
To fill in the picture the following is the other information
that I have:
Timothy's father was a Patrick Sullivan, born about
1819. His wife's name was Hannah-surname unknown.
In Griffiths Valuation for 1852 his address is given
as Castlemore, parish of Moviddy. He had a house in
fee from Richard T Rye. There were two children that
I know of Timothy, my grandfather, and Daniel, born
1863.
Finally he is shown in the 1901 census at the same address,
with his wife. It states that he is a retired quarryman
and that he is blind.He does not appear in the 1911
census.
I would be grateful if any of your site viewers and
others can add to my information on my Kilmurry connections.
In the meantime I look forward to the CD.
Keep up the good work.
Yours truly
Frank Nash

Dear Sirs:
I am in the process of trying to locate the exact
place in County Cork from which my Buckley ancestors
emigrated to the United States in 1836. On Murthey
Buckley's tombstone is written: "a native of
Ireland, county of Cork, parrish of Conway."
Several years ago, a genealogist in Dublin led us
to believe that "Conway" is the old name
for "Convamore," an estate which lies adjacent
to Ballyhooly. However, Irish researcher Tom O'Leary
recently found information which indicates that "Conway"
is probably a mis-spelling of "Cannaway,"
a civil parish within the Catholic parish of Kilmurry.
So now I am concentrating on Kilmurry, and I find
that at least one Buckley family currently lives in
that village. I would very much like to contact them
and wonder whether you could provide me with their
address. Perhaps they would know of a Murthey and
Catherine Buckley, with young son John Franklin, who
left County Cork in 1836.
Any assistance you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

A
recent posting on your website, "Thomas Desmond
was born in Parish Canavee" is of interest to
me. My great-great grandfather, Thomas Desmond [son
of Patrick Desmond and Hanora Lyons Desmond] is said
to have been born in Parish Canavaa.
Can you tell me where that parish is? He was born
perhaps as early as 1810. John and Patrick Desmond
may have been his brothers, or relatives. Thomas emigrated
to Canada about 1840 and then to the U.S. Any help
you can give me in tracing either the Desmond or Lyons
families will be greatly appreciated.
