SIXTEENTH SUNDAY after PENTECOST

 

"For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, 

and he who humbles himself shall be exalted."

 Extract from today's Gospel - Luke 14:1-11

Mass at 5pm, St Patrick's Church, College Rd, Kilkenny,

Celebrant: Rev Thomas O’Toole CC

 

Today is also the feast of the Guardian Angels. It is not commemorated in the Mass (in the 1962 Missal), but it is fitting that especially today we remember the presence of our, and all the Holy Angels.

 

O God, Who in thine unspeakable Providence hast been pleased to give thine holy Angels charge over us, to keep us, mercifully grant unto our prayers, that we be both ever fenced by their wardship here, and everlastingly blessed by their fellowship hereafter. 

Mass in Glenmore parish church - Friday 6pm.

There will be Mass this Friday evening in Glenmore parish church (St. James) at 6pm, (nr. New Ross) celebrated by Fr. Anthony O'Connor PP.

The Mass will be that of the feast day, i.e. St. Jerome. It will be Fr.O'Connors second public Mass using the 1962 missal, and the first in his parish since the liturgical changes of the late 1960's and 70's.

Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and forsake not to the end the souls of Thy poor: arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek Thee. O God, why hast Thou cast us off unto the end: why is Thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of Thy pasture?

Incline unto my aid, O God: O Lord, make haste to help me: let my enemies be confounded and ashamed, who seek my soul.  Let them be turned backward and blush for shame, who desire evils to me.
