Sunday Reflection

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time 2025

72 Disciples of Jesus

Isaiah 66:10-14

Galatians 6: 14-18

Luke 10: 1-12, 17-20

Our liturgies for the past six Sundays have been celebrations of the great events of the early Church along with the celebration of what the Lord has left us a memorial of Himself and then we honoured the two great pillars of the Church, Peter the Rock on which the Church was founded and Paul who brought the Good News of the Kingdom to all of us.

It is now time to for us to consider how all of this touches our lives as we try to live out our calling as disciples. Disciples are those who are called, who hear and who follow. Disciples are faithful to their Master and Teacher and Disciples are sent!

In the Gospel passage immediately preceding today’s Gospel Reading Jesus tells his disciples: ‘The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head’ (Luke 9:58). Disciples following such a leader would not be encouraged or feel any security! Such is the fate of disciples. Those who follow Jesus are to be people on the move, who think differently, who don’t rely on worldly goods or securities and who don’t expect earthly rewards.

Sr. Breda McInerney (1935-2024)

Sr Brida

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Sr Breda McInerney.

Born on 1st February 1935 at Cooraclare, Co Clare. Breda joined the Nazareth Sisters after her secondary school years and taught in their schools in Australia until she decided to be a Carmelite. In 1985 Sr. Breda came to Ireland and joined Firhouse Carmel. In 2017 she transferred to Roebuck after the sad closure of Firhouse.

Sr Breda was always interested in people and their concerns and was very zealous in her prayer for all. We are confident that she will continue to bring our concerns to the Lord on our behalf and that she will intercede for us all.

Always interested in sport she was an avid follower of the GAA and was keenly interested in rugby.

After suffering for years with heart problems it finally gave up on her and she died peacefully and serenely in the Monastery aided by the wonderful care of our doctors and the hospice nurses.

May she rest in eternal peace.
