15th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Sunday, 11th July 2010
...
 

The man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?” The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the best-known stories of the Gospels. One of the points of it is that Jesus is telling us there should be no limits set by us as to who our neighbour is. For a married person the neighbour is a wife or husband who is to be loved and cared for with great affection. For parents, their family is their neighbour and every day they are called to love with great care. In our faith community our neighbour is the person we are with at any given point of time and our responsibility is to love to such an extent that the family of God becomes visible. And the surest sign that we are taking Christ’s word to heart is when we are growing in a deep reverence for every human person and expressing that reverence in action in our daily lives.

Preparations for Ordination of Monsignor MacDaid:

This weekend we are distributing an A5 printed colour brochure by way of information for all the people of the diocese. As well as Monsignor Liam’s Curriculum Vitae you will find interesting information on his specially commissioned coat of arms, featuring the Clogher Cross, the Rowan tree and the Lough Derg penitential beds. The significance of the Bishops ring, crozier and mitre are explained; and there are notes on the diocese of Clogher.

“Monsignor Liam Mac Daid will become the fifty-third bishop of our Diocese of Clogher since it was established in 1135. Today our Diocese stretches from Bundoran in the west to Inniskeen in the east, some miles short of Dundalk. In between, it includes portions of County Donegal and County Tyrone, the most of County Fermanagh, all of County Monaghan and a portion of County Louth. There are thirty-seven parishes and eighty-seven churches, served by some eighty priests today.” Fr. Peter O’Reilly
