From the Pastor's Desk

This weekend the Church (the people of God) through out the world celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, the last Sunday in the Church's liturgical year.

When we speak of the word "King" our minds are drawn to the great image of a person sitting on a throne wearing a golden crown and a sceptre in their hand, reigning over a great deal of people (subjects) and perhaps over vast areas of land. History helps us to reflect on such Kings and Queens who reigned over the British, German, Russian and French empires. But the King and Kingdom that we celebrate this weekend is much different from the earthly ones, they were built on "greed", "power" and "money". Again history tells us, the second line of our hymn puts it very nicely.

"Like Earth's proud empires pass away."
The empires that we ourselves have created, out of selfishness in the course of our own lives, we will have to leave them all behind when the King of Kings will call us from the throne that will pass away.
As subjects of the King of Heaven and Earth may Jesus help us to build up his Kingdom here on Earth, through giving to the hungry, welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked and visiting those who are sick and in prison. Then when the King will call us on the last day may we hear his words:

"Come you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the Kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world."

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.

Thought for Advent.

Friday, a Day of Penance: Many will remember a time when we never eat meat on Fridays. Some years ago that Church law was eased and meat was allowed. However, while the form of penance is optional the obligation to do penance remains. There is a serious obligation to observe Friday as a penitential day, in memory of the Passion and death of Our Lord. It can be fulfilled in one or other of the following ways.

1. By abstaining from meat or some other food.

2. Abstaining from alcoholic drink, smoking or some other form of amusement.

3. Family prayer, attending Mass, visiting the Blessed Sacrament or praying the Stations of the Cross.

4. Fasting from food for a longer period than usual and perhaps giving the money saved to charity.

5. Visiting or helping somebody who is sick, old or lonely.

Reflection

So be it Lord thy throne shall never
Like Earth's proud empires pass away
Thy Kingdom stands and grows for every
Till all thy creatures own thy sway.

(The final verse from one of the hymns for the Office of Night Prayer.)

J. Ellerton 1826 - 93.

Don't wait for six strong men
to take you to church

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.

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.
