INVITATION TO REFLECT ON SUNDAY MASS
As we journey through this Jubilee Year of Hope the Irish Bishops are asking all Catholics to reflect privately on the significance of Sunday Mass. So, during the coming week I invite you to consider this question – “How does your participation in Sunday Mass inspire you to live out your mission as a follower of Christ?” As you contemplate your answer consider the words of the late Pope Francis words “We do not go to Mass in order to give something to God, but to receive what we truly need from Him.”
