I Worried
I worried a lot. Will the garden grow , will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?
Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?
Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.
Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?
Finally I saw that my worrying had come to nothing.
And I gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang.
Mary Oliver

October is Mission month! This year’s theme, ‘Together We Are Mission’, is asking you to move away from the idea that mission work is solely the work of the priests and sisters, catechists and lay missionaries, and to consider the part you play .
After all, it is because of the prayers and generosity of
people just like you that hope, love and joy can continue to be shared with the suffering and neglected.
Please consider using your generosity right now. Donate €4 to the work of missionaries overseas, many of
whom work in impoverished communities, text the
word ‘mission’ to 50300.
(Texts cost €4.World Mission Ireland will receive a
minimum of €3.60. Service provider: LikeCharity.
Helpline:076-6805278. Republic of Ireland only.)
World Missions Ireland, the Church’s charity for overseas mission, is responsible for the coordination of
Mission Month. Go to www.wmi.ie to learn more about their work
October 2019:
Extraordinary Month of Mission Prayer
Heavenly Father,
when your only begotten Son Jesus Christ
rose from the dead,
He commissioned his followers
to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’
and you remind us that through our Baptism
we are made sharers in the mission of the church.
Empower us by the Gifts of the Holy Spirit
to be courageous and zealous in bearing witness to the
Gospel, so that the mission Entrusted to the Church,
which is still very far from completion,
may find new expressions that
bring life and light to the world
Help us make it possible for all peoples
to experience the saving love and mercy of Jesus Christ,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

Remember:…..
1. Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue!
2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4. Drive carefully … It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
5. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6. If you lend someone €20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
8. Never buy a car you can’t push.
9. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
10. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
11. Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird – sleep late.
12. The second mouse gets the cheese.
13. When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
14. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
15. Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
16. We could learn a lot from crayons.Some are sharp,some are pretty&some are dull. Some have weird names & all are different colours,but they all have to live in the same box.
17. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Save the earth … It’s the only planet with chocolate!
