Fifth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
“The
fever left her and she began to wait on them.”
One of the
lovely features of the Gospels is the number of healing
stories they contain. Nothing is too big or too small
to bring to Jesus. He raised Lazarus from the dead;
he healed Peter’s mother-in-law from a fever.
That same Jesus is with us and among us with the same
power and the same longing, to heal us into wholeness.
All we have to do is ask him for what we need for ourselves
and for one another and know that he will answer. We
all need his healing power in so far as we set limits
to our love for one another because his great commandment
is to love. Husbands and wives often need to stretch
their love into forgiveness if they are to go forward
together. Parents need to grow in understanding of their
children. And in our faith community we need Christ’s
power to help us to take true responsibility for those
in need.

Dear Fr. Dolan
On behalf of the families
and communities who benefit from your generosity, I
would like to thank you for your kind donation of £12,355
to our East Africa Emergency Appeal. I would be grateful
if you could convey our sincere gratitude to all your
parishioners for their thoughtful generosity.
It is estimated that up
to 13 million people face life threatening food and
water shortages in Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya. As
Trócaire is already working in the region we
are able to respond quickly through our local partners,
and have dedicated more resources to this area to help
families survive this crisis.
In the worst drought-affected
areas Trócaire will provide drought resistant
seed and livestock. A scheme will also be run to move
animals to locations that still have sufficient grazing,
preventing them from succumbing to the drought, and
protecting the livelihoods of families that rely on
them.
Trócaire will also
be involved in projects to provide families with an
immediate water supply and to develop water harvesting
infrastructure so communities can retain water when
the rains arrive later this year.
I would like to highlight
once again our deep appreciation for your kind donation.
Your support, particularly in these difficult times,
is hugely important to us and vital in our efforts to
ensure that the poorest and most vulnerable in the world
are not forgotten.
Yours sincerely
Eithne McNulty
Regional Manager
