Sunday 13th July 2008

What kind of people are we?

“Other (seed) fell on rich soil and produced their crop”. We have all kinds of choices to make in the course of a lifetime. Probably the most significant one is the kind of person we want to be in relation to God and to one another. This is not predetermined as we can let ourselves be changed through the way we listen to God’s Word and how we listen and are transformed by those close to us. We are shaped right through life by what/who we are listening to. If we listen to the world around us we will put ourselves at the centre of our own world. If we listen to God’s Word we will put God and those we love at the centre. The first way leads to loneliness and isolation. The second way leads to fulfilment. Each of us can produce a lot of good for our world but only if we are living a life of love of God and love of one another in our homes and families and in our community of faith.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Pater Noster (The Lord’s Prayer in Latin)

Pater Noster,
quie es in caelis Santificetur nomen tuum
Adveniat regnum tuum
Fiat voluntas tua
Quotidianum da nobis hodie et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
