Fifth Sunday of Easter – Sunday, 2nd May 2010
...
 

Jesus said to his disciples: “I give you a new commandment: love one another; as I have loved you, you also must love one another”. It is said that familiarity breeds contempt. Maybe contempt is too strong a word when we apply this statement to the command of Jesus; it is more likely to be indifference. We hear it and leave it. But this commandment, if it were to be lived out by us, would revolutionise the world. The most obvious place for living it is in marriage and family life. There continues to be far too much mediocrity in marriage and family relationships and this spills over rather than the passionate love of Christ. This power of love is to be lived in our faith community. But again mediocrity is more the flavour of our community than joy and gladness. And the love of Christ, lived by us his followers, knows no bounds but is destined to reach the ends of the earth to heal the divisions of humanity.

Parking in Public Areas

Theft from cars and other vehicles is a common crime in Ireland today. Ideally, property should not be left unattended in cars or other vehicles. However, if you must, please bear in mind the following;

- Ensure all windows are closed and all doors are locked.
- Ensure that your alarm/immobiliser is set.
- Do not leave property on view inside your vehicle.
- Do not leave cash, credit/debit cards, cheque books or other valuable items inside your vehicle.
- Do not leave personal documents (driving licence, insurance certificate, utility bills, bank statements etc) as this can facilitate identity theft or lead criminals to your home address.
