A MORNING IN ADVENT
As the new day dawns,
we rejoice in the first glimmers of light
which remind us of your coming, O Christ.
We give thanks
that your light has overcome all our darkness;
may we share in the mystery of your presence in
the world,
and be always ready to live each day for you.

First Reading Jeremiah 33: 14-16
In those days Judah shall be saved and Israel
shall dwell in confidence.
Second Reading Thessalonians 3: 12 -4:2
May the Lord be generous in increasing your love
and make you love one another.
Gospel Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36

to survive all that is going to happen, and to

The Flood
Our thoughts and
prayers are with the many people who have been affected
by the recent floods. Imagine having to leave your own
home or business to escape the devastation caused by
the storms, and having no access to clean water, food,
and in many cases shelter or medical supplies. In the
longer term, we must resolve to help the hundreds of
people in the worst affected areas to rebuild their
lives and their livelihoods.

Fund
Raiser in Aid of Victim Support
We appeal to people
to donate bed linen, duvets and clothes in relatively
new condition that could help make a difference to the
flood victims lives. Items that are not in good condition
will not be accepted. All items will be greatly accepted
at the Workhouse, Shercock Road, Carrickmacross on Monday
the 30th of November and Tuesday the 1st of December
between 10am and 5pm. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
If you wish to donate please send all donations to Flood
Victim Support AIB Ashbourne, Co. Meath. For further
information please do not hesitate to contact Bridie
Racey on 0879364355.

Mission boxes
The holy
Ghost Missions, Kimmage Manor, Dublin, wish
to acknowledge with thanks your generous donation of
€96.36, contents of mission boxes in Emyvale businesses.
This will help missionary work in Africa, Asia and Latin
America, where there is widespread poverty, malnutrition,

and forgotten by our western media. Thanks for your
continued support and be assured of remembrance in the
missions masses and prayers.
