Tax Reclaim
Tax reclaim forms for 2012 have been sent out. Only 19 have been returned.
Please return your form in an envelope addressed to Fr Jim Murray via the Sunday
collection, post or drop it into the Presbytery.
As a charity we can reclaim tax on your generous contribution to the church. In
previous years refunds were used to roof the community centre, upgrade the Men’s
toilets and replace the windows. Work to upgrade the Ladies’ toilets is expected to
start soon. This work is made possible by the funds received from Revenue.
If you have contributed to the Church but have not received a tax reclaim form in
the post please pick one up at the doors of the Church and return it to Fr Jim.

Reflections – Humility
The readings of the twenty-second Sunday in
Ordinary Time today talk to us about the most fundamental virtue of all,
humility. This virtue is so necessary to humanity that Jesus himself spoke
about it frequently. On this occasion, Saint Luke tells us in the Gospel today
that the Lord was invited to a banquet in the home of an important man, a
Pharisee. When he entered and sat down, the Lord observed the other guests
and what he saw he did not like. As they arrived the guests would sit in the
places of honour. They tried to get to the best seats, closest to the host, before
the other guests.
However we should know that the seat itself is not able to honour any but the virtue of
humility makes the humble one to be honoured. In the society that
surrounds us people who in authority are considered to be great
people. The readings of our Sunday’s Mass today show us what it
means to be great. For Jesus great people are those who want to serve
others. He tells us that we should be humble in everything we do and
he reminds us that when we invite someone to our home what we
should not invite so and so because he or she is important or is going
to repay us in some way. He tells us that when we invite someone we
should do so naturally and, if possible, it should be someone who is in
need. Because the important thing is not that the guests praise us or
speak well of us or that they owe us a favour because we invited them. For the Lord
the important thing is that we do good for others, that we are useful.
