GOSPEL REFLECTION
Jesus speaks of the freedom of the Good Shepherd in laying down his life. Faced with the needs of others, we can at times feel trapped into looking after them, caught by duty, obligation or guilt. We can become like the hired hands who do a job without care for the person. Perhaps you have experienced both attitudes, caring for others under duress and by free choice. What difference did it make when you chose to care for the other.

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS – Collection
Each diocese will hold their Fourth National Collection next weekend 5th & 6th May 2012.
The Eucharistic Congress is an international gathering of people which aims to:
- Promote an awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Catholic Church.
- Help improve our understanding and celebration of the liturgy.
- Draw attention to the social dimension of the Eucharist.
All large celebrations require a great deal of preparation. The 50th International Eucharistic Congress is no exception. There are many challenges involved and we want to ensure that the whole Church, both here in Ireland and further afield, will see the Congress as an opportunity to deepen our faith in the Eucharist. You are invited to support the Fourth National Collection on the 5th and 6th May 2012. Your support, especially in these difficult economic times is very much appreciated.
