Am tOchtú Domhnach Déag Saor – 6ú Lúnasa, 2006

Arán  na Beatha
I soiscéal Aifreann an lae inniu, feiceann muid na daoine ar thóir Íosa mar gur mhéadaigh sé líon na mbuilín agus an éisc agus mar gur thug sé neart le n-ithe dhóibh saor in aisce. Ní raibh drugall ar bith ar Íosa a rá leo nach é féin a bhí [...]

An Triú Domhnach Déag Saor – 2ú Iúil, 2006
Tá Ríocht Dé in gar Dúinn
“Tá Ríocht Dé in gar dúinn.
Déanaigí aithrí agus creidigí sa soiscéal.”
B’iad sin focail Íosa agus é ag cur tús lena chuid oibre.
Ní tír, ná píosa talún, ná cnoc, ná oileán i bhfad i gcéin í Ríocht Dé.  [...]

Trinity Sunday – 11th June, 2006
During the year we have many feast days commemorating various Saints of the Church.  Today we mark the feast to beat all feasts as it is the feast of God Himself.  The feast of the Most Holy Trinity, the mysterious way God has of revealing His inner nature to [...]

Machnamh – Meitheamh 2006

Domhnach Cincíse – 4ú Meitheamh, 2006
Ag an Suipéar Deireannach, gheall Íosa do na h-aspail go gcuirfeadh sé chuchu an Comhairleoir, an té a chuirfeadh i gcuimhne dóibh chuile rud a bhí sé féin ag iarraidh a mhúineadh dóibh.
Tar éis bás Íosa, theastaigh sólás agus misneach go géar ó na h-aspail.
Ní shúilfidís [...]

Machnamh – Bealtaine 2006

An Ceathrú Domhnach den Cháisg – 7ú Bealtaine, 2006
An tAoire Maith
Dúirt Íosa: ‘Mise an t-aoire maith. Tugann an t-aoire maith a bheatha ar son a chaorach.’
Is annamh sa tír seo anois, a fheictear aoire ag fosaíocht caorach. Timpeall caoga bliain ó shoin, bhí sé coitianta go leor, sa samhradh, gasúir a fheiceáil [...]

Pentecost Sunday – 6th May, 2006

Pentecost Sunday – 6th May, 2006
There was a tradition amongst the old folk in Connemara that it was not good to swim in the sea before Pentecost.  As young children we found it difficult to have the patience to cope with this wisdom, particularly if the Spring weather was good.  Once [...]

Machnamh – May 2006

Macnamh:   Fourth Sunday of Easter   7th May 2006
 
I see these heady days between Easter and Ascension as a butterfly time of year.  Jesus the butterfly flits from flower to flower, unbound, unconstrained, unconfined, risen, glorified.  The cocoon has cracked, the egg shelled, the tomb emptied, the grave opened.  Death has [...]

The Grain of Wheat
I’m going to be very brief – and I mean very brief – because if I talk too much I’ll cover today’s message with confusion.  And it’s such an [...]

Mí Aibreáin – 2006
An Cúigiú Domhnach den Charghas
2ú Aibréain, 2006
An Síol Arbhair
Is beag le rá gráinne síol arbhair ach
is é a roghnaigh Íosa le brí a bheatha
féin a léiriú dúinn. Dúirt sé:
“An gráinne arbhair a thit ar an dtalamh
mura bhfaigheann sé bás, fanann sé leis
féin amháin. Ach, má fhaigheann sé bás,
tugann sé toradh uaidh.”
Faoin am [...]

Machnamh – March 2006

First Sunday of Lent – March 5th, 2006
The forty days that Jesus spent in the desert have become one of the most important periods of his life in their effects on both the Church and indeed world history. They have played no small role in the creation of the original Church which was created on [...]
