O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

 

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

 

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

 

O come, O come Thou Lord of might

Who to thy tribes on Sinai’s height

In ancient times didst give the law

In cloud, and majesty and awe

 

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

 

Sacrament of Penance/Confession will be offered next weekend after each of the three Masses, Saturday 6.00 pm; Sunday 10.00 am and 12 Noon.

    The Sacrament of Penance (or Confession) is one of the great gifts of the Catholic Church. To get the most from this sacrament it is essential to prepare well. The Sacrament of Penance is above all an act of God’s love; it is a personal moment in a relationship of love with God. It is not a routine to be gone through but very much part of the personal renewal that takes place in each person, especially at Christmas and Easter.

We are invited in the light of God’s love: to recognize the sinfulness of our life; to have a true sorrow for our sins; to have a firm intention to avoid them in the future.

Sin is not merely a series of failures. It is also a sharing in what is really negative and sometimes evil: unbelief, indifference, selfishness; violence, contempt for the weak, eroticism; racism, neglect of the poor; greed, wastefulness; pride and a sense of superiority

Recessional Hymn: I, the Lord of sea and sky

 

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
my hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
 

Here I am, Lord.  Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

 

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?

            Here I am, Lord. ……

Solemnity of Christ the King

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, commonly referred to as the Feast of Christ the King is a relatively recent addition to the liturgical calendar, instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI. It was innovative of the diocese of Cork to dedicate its new church in Turner’s Cross to Christ the King. Today we celebrate the anniversary of our church, opened in 1931 by Bishop Coholan. We acknowledge all those who worshipped here over the years and received the sacraments. In particular, given that we are still in the month of November we remember all whose funerals took place here. We thank the many parishioners who enabled the parish to grow and become a true place of worship. Apart from the financial support which the parish received over the years, the personal involvement of people in the service of the parish is truly remarkable. Of course, we are most grateful to those currently involved in ministry and service in Christ the King.

          Today we begin the last week in the current Church year. The new year begins next Sunday, 1st December, which is the first Sunday in Advent.

The Election: Voting Matters

‘Every vote counts.  Your vote counts.  Imagine living in a society with no elections, no democratic accountability, no contest of ideas, programmes, or vision.  History shows that such societies are run by the powerful for their own benefit, while freedom of belief and expression are restricted, or even suppressed.  Voting matters because it is how we hold our leaders to account and mandate what we believe to be important…

          Taking the trouble to consider who offers the best prospect of advancing the common good rather than personal interest or advantage is an important exercise in solidarity with our sisters and brothers who are most affected by public policies.  Identifying candidates who have the personal qualities and experience to be effective public representatives is an important judgement.’  Archbishop Dermot Farrell.

 

Information Meeting re Year of Prayer, Listening and Discernment launched by Bishop Fintan in September. This meeting takes place next Sunday, Dec. 1st in the Rochestown Park Hotel 2.00 to 5.00. The Bishop has invited each parish to send representatives. Please let me know if you would like to attend.

World Mission Sunday

The theme for this year’s celebration of Mission Sunday is: “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet” (Mt 22:9). reflecting the inclusive and urgent call to bring God’s love to everyone. Pope Francis speaks as follows:

‘Mission is a tireless going out to all men and women, in order to invite them to encounter God and enter into communion with him. Tireless! God, great in love and rich in mercy, constantly sets out to encounter all men and women, and to call them to the happiness of his kingdom, even in the face of their indifference or refusal…Let us not forget that every Christian is called to take part in this universal mission by offering his or her own witness to the Gospel in every context, so that the whole Church can continually go forth with her Lord and Master to the crossroads of today’s world…’

The Mission Sunday Collection will be taken up this weekend at all Masses as a second collection. 

Parish Dues

So far 91 dues envelopes have been returned for which we are most grateful. When I open an envelope my immediate reaction is to want to call to the house and thank you personally, but that is not possible unfortunately. Please accept this note of thanks instead.

Bishop of Cork and Ross invites people to respond to Church changes with a time of prayer, listening and discernment

The island associated with St. Finbarr’s monastic settlement in Gougane Barra had a capacity congregation for the annual pilgrimage on Sunday last. Bishop Fintan launched a year of prayer, listening and discernment in the diocese as the Catholic Church responds to challenges and opportunities presented by changes in society and church. He also introduced a special prayer which he is asking the whole diocese to pray during the coming year.

On a weekend when heavy rain and winds had blown across his diocese, it seems more than coincidence that a new pastoral message from the Bishop of Cork and Ross should begin with a scripture quote: “Even the wind and the seas obey Him”. Bishop Fintan Gavin read his message on Sunday to pilgrims attending the annual Mass at St. Finbarr’s Oratory, Gougane Barra. Bishop Fintan’s message is a call to the people of the diocese to commit to a year-long time of prayer, listening and discernment about the future of the Catholic Church in the parishes and chaplaincies of the diocese. In a time of unprecedented change in society and the Catholic Church in Ireland, people are understandably concerned about their parish’s future, he said.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA): Would you or someone you know like to become Catholic or know more about the Catholic faith? The RCIA will begin in the Visitors’ Centre of The Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne, Cork, on Monday, October 21st 2024 (7.30pm – 9.00pm).

Mission Month

In the Catholic Church, October has long been associated with mission. The month starts with the feast of St Thérèse of Lisieux  and draws to a close with World Mission Sunday on October 20th– a special day of prayer and global solidarity celebrated in all Catholic parishes around the world. Pope Francis has taken many steps to encourage all members of Catholic communities to recognise themselves as missionary disciples; working and praying together to share God’s love with everyone, everywhere. We remember all who work on mission fields far from family and friends, especially people from this parish.

 

Synod in Rome began on Wednesday and will continue until 27 Oct. This is the second part of the synodal process that was held last October. Participants are from various backgrounds and, for the first time, women have voting rights at the synod. Since the Vatican Council (1962-65) there has been a synod every three years but it was made up uniquely of bishops. At the opening ceremony on Wednesday, Pope Francis said, ‘Let us listen to the voice of the Spirit, feeling welcomed and accepted with love’. He asked participants to be the voices of their people, especially the smallest, most humble and most vulnerable. We pray for the success of the synod.

Priests’ Retreat

The priests of the diocese are on retreat this week which means that Mass will not be celebrated in the parish church from Monday to Thursday inclusive. Mass is available in Holy Trinity and the other religious congregational churches.

 

Gougane Sunday

You are invited to Gougane Barra today 6th October to mark the Feast of St Finbarr. Mass at 3pm preceded by the Rosary at 2.30 pm.

 

Special Commemoration

The 12 Noon Mass today will be a special commemoration of our organist and choir director, David O’Sullivan, who died recently.

 

Second Collection next weekend for diocesan needs

 

 

The Diocese supports parishes through all kinds of services such as Education,

School Religious Faith Formation support, Mission and Ministry, Youth Ministry,

Safeguarding, Stewardship and Governance and in areas such as Data Protection,

Finance and property advisory. This assistance to parishes is only possible through your ongoing generosity. In July the Diocesan Quarterly Collection amounted to €47,324.70 for which the Diocese is most grateful. These collections allow us to support the work in Parishes and Families of Parishes. This work is vital to enable our parishes to be renewed and invigorated as we rebuild after Covid and begin this year of Prayer, Listening and Discernment. As we respond to Christ’s Mission to build his Kingdom of Love and Peace and Justice, we discern over the next year how God is calling us to be his Church and Faith Communities into the future.

 

Bulletin 29th September

Inter-Faith Marriages

  • Roman Catholics wishing to marry Christians of other denominations must approach their priest for a dispensation, usually the priest will grant this.
  • If one or other of the partners is not baptised, or belongs to a non-Christian religion or is an atheist, a dispensation  is needed. You must apply to the bishop of the diocese to grant this. Again your local priest will arrange that.
