THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
KNOW THE SHEPHERD
The psalm to be read at this weekend’s masses is perhaps the best known and best loved psalm of all; psalm 23, The Lord is my shepherd. I recently came across the following story which might give us pause for reflection this week.
Some time ago a great actor in the city of New York gave a wonderful performance in a large theatre, at the close of which there were rounds of applause. He was called back again and again. Finally someone called to him, “Would you do for us the Twenty-third Psalm?” “Why yes, I know the Twenty-third Psalm.” He recited it as an actor would, perfectly, with nothing left to be desired as far as a performance was concerned. When he was finished, again there was thunderous applause. Then the actor came to the front of the stage and said; “Ladies and gentlemen, there is an old man sitting here on the front row whom I happen to know. I am going to ask him without any notice if he will come and repeat the Twenty-third Psalm.”
The elderly gentleman, of course, was frightened. Trembling, he came to the stage. Fearfully he looked out over the vast audience. Then, as though he were at home only with one, he closed his eyes against the audience, bowed his head, and talked to God, and said:
“The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want…” When the old man finished, there was no applause, but there was not a dry eye in that house. The actor came to the front of the stage and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I know the words of the Twenty-third Psalm, but this man knows the Shepherd”
SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THE PRIEST!
If a priest preaches for ten minutes, he’s longwinded.
If his sermon is short, he didn’t prepare it.
If the parish funds are high, he’s a businessman.
If he mentions money, he’s money mad.
If he visits his parishioners, he’s nosy.
If he doesn’t, he’s snobbish.
If he has fairs and bazaars, he’s bleeding the people.
If he doesn’t, there’s no life in the parish.
If he takes time in confession to help and advise sinners, he takes too long.
If he doesn’t, he doesn’t care.
If he celebrates the liturgy in a quiet voice, he’s a bore.
If he puts feeling in to it, he’s an actor.
If he starts Mass on time, his watch is fast.
If he starts late, he’s holding up the people.
If he tries to lead the people in music, he’s showing off.
If he doesn’t, he doesn’t care what Mass is like.
If he decorates the church, he’s wasting money.
If he doesn’t, he’s letting it run down.
If he’s young, he’s not experienced.
If he’s old, he ought to retire.
If he dies, there was nobody like him and there will never be his equal again!

27th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, October 02, 2011
I have come among you in less than ideal circumstances, but I am very happy to be here. This has been a difficult week for the parish of Mooncoin. I am conscious that there is an entire spectrum of feelings and emotions across the community: shock, sadness, sympathy, hurt, anger and confusion. I promise you that I will do my utmost to walk with you at this time and to serve the needs of this Christian community to the best of my ability. I have long been aware of the rich tradition and strength of identity that exists in Mooncoin, Carrigeen and Kilnaspic and I am confident that, in working together in the spirit of the gospel, we will move beyond the darkness of these days.
I am deeply grateful to the Pastoral council, the Parish staff, the Presentation sisters and the many other parishioners who have extended a warm and generous welcome to me this week. I know that I have your prayerful support as I begin my ministry here, but I also commend to your prayers Fr. Peter and all those who are affected by this sad situation.
I am conscious that many of you did not get an opportunity to hear Bishop Freeman’s statement last weekend and so on the suggestion of the Pastoral Council it is included here in its entirety.
Fr. Martin Delaney
STATEMENT BY BISHOP FREEMAN
A safeguarding matter has arisen and Fr Peter Muldowney, a priest of the Diocese of Ossory, has asked me to allow him a period of leave from ministry with immediate effect so that this matter can be addressed. I have adhered to this request. In compliance with our Diocesan Policy on Safeguarding, this matter has been referred to An Garda Siochana, the HSE and to the National Board for Safeguarding Children. The presumption of innocence must prevail. There can be no further comment until this matter has been clarified by the Civil Authorities. I ask you for your prayers for all concerned. I have appointed Father Martin Delaney Administrator of the parish of Mooncoin and he will take up duties with immediate effect.

26th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, September 25, 2011
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation – Alan Cohen
A friend of mine had an interview recently where one of the interviewers stated that it was amazing how she was able to turn every negative event in her life into a positive experience. For myself I have found that my most precious learning has been from those times when I thought that my world was crashing down around my eyes.
One of my most helpful poems at such times is “Footprints” which is a poem about Jesus walking with someone across a beach, thus there are two sets of footprints in the sand. During an especially trying period the person looks back and complains that Jesus left them just when they needed him the most only to be told that that was the time that Jesus had carried them.
Belief in God and self helps me to change my scared times in sacred times. The awful times in awesome times and the terrifying times into terrific times. None of it comes easy, or instant, but takes time of reflections, learning and the willingness to look at things in a different way.
My prayer for you this day
is that you are willing to look at your life’s journey that changes negative experiences to periods of positive transformation.
The Kilkenny Fire Officer on his own behalf and on behalf of all the fire crew who fought the fire in the furniture shop in Mooncoin would like to give a sincere word of thanks to all who helped in any way. A special word of thanks to Ann Dobbyn, Kathleen O’Driscoll & Rose Mahon who provided tea and refreshments. Our thoughts and prayers are with the owner and his family.
POSITIVE AGEING WEEK
What is Positive Ageing Week?
Positive Ageing is the term that we have chosen to encapsulate all we are trying to do to make Ireland the best place in which to grow old. It means a society in which people of all ages enjoy the same status and rights. Positive Ageing Week is a festival which highlights the positive aspects of ageing and celebrates the contribution older people have made and continue to make to their communities. The central aim of Positive Ageing Week is to dispel the many negative perceptions that surround ageing and to transform attitudes towards ageing and older people. We need to celebrate the fact that we are living longer, that ageing is not a burden, but an opportunity. We wish to thank all the ageing people of our community and wish them long life, health & happiness.
As part of Positive Ageing Week, Mooncoin Residential Care Centre is inviting you to join with us celebrating Mass on Thursday, September 29 at 2.30pm, followed by Tea and Cakes. All proceeds to Age Action Ireland.
Is chronic illness part of your life?
Are you a carer or do you have a health condition?
Have you, or a family member, experienced, pain, tiredness, stress, loss of mobility, fear for the future, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, isolation or any of the many other consequences of long-term and enduring ill-health or disability? Would a Self-Management Programme help? Self-management is about using simple skills to take control of the way you think and feel about your health condition/your caring situation and how you cope in everyday life.
