Raphoe Diocesan Society
I urge and request you to please enrol all your dead family
members in the Raphoe Diocesan Society to ensure that Masses
will be offered for them all over the diocese every November,
even if you might forget yourself. It will cost you only €15 for
each name. You can also enrol as a Living Member yourself so
that for you too Masses will be offered every year throughout
the diocese during the month of November. Fr. Lorcan

Commentary on Mark 12: 38-44
Our age, even more than the time of Jesus, is so obsessed with image that it becomes the
most important feature for our leaders, even more than their message or vision. I listen to Jesus’
words which are such a real challenge to this culture, and to his warning to beware not to be
taken in by these antics.
Jesus proclaims that the woman who put in two small copper coins had given more than all the
rich people. In a very real way it is a summary of the whole Gospel, for God looks at the heart
and its readiness to give generously. Do I measure my worth by my external success, or am I
free to look at my heart and be ready to be generous even in my poverty? I ask God to help me
look at myself and at others as he looks at us.
Bazaar> Last Friday 9th
Many thanks to all who supported and helped the Bazaar in so many different ways. As soon as possible I will let you know how we got on this

Thanks a lot to so many. Fr. Lorcan
