PREGO REFLECTION ON TODAYS GOSPEL:
I come to my place of prayer and still myself, becoming aware of God’s presence in and around me. I read the text slowly. Perhaps I can place myself in the scene, maybe being part of the crowd, or one of Jesus' disciples, drawing near the town gate and surrounding the grieving widow. I feel the sorrow and the sad situation of the widow. Maybe I too am mourning some loss and can identify with her. I look at Jesus. He makes the first move towards the woman. He is full of compassion—speaking to her and actually touching the bier, contrary to all Jewish custom. What touches my heart in this story? Jesus compassion... His attention to the poor and needy... His mercy that over-rides all other considerations... Or something that connects with my own life... I speak to the Lord of this. I look at the mother. In her grief and poverty she is helpless but open to receive. Does this speak to me? Can I too give praise to God for his goodness? Or perhaps I can just remain silent before my compassionate God. I quietly end my prayer thanking God for this time spent with him.

WEEKLY RAMBLINGS:

I'm sitting in the dining room of a B&B - Bective Mill - just between Trim and Navan in County Meath.  I arrived safely yesterday afternoon and collected my car and then headed off to Navan and on the way saw the sign for Bective Abbey. Fr 'Smiley' McCormack said recently that Fr Mick Flynn had been buried from Navan and his grave was near an Abbey somewhere nearby. Unfortunately, it is doesn't seem as if this Abbey is where he's buried.

Today I'm heading off to Navan and catching up with the local clergy and then celebrating Mass tonight with a family as they remember the anniversary of a sister and my friend who died 8 years ago today.

After a few days rest I'll be heading for Dublin and Howth (slightly north of Dublin) where I'll be staying with a friend I met in Jerusalem 3 years ago. Then early next week I'll be heading off to the USA and visiting the Church of the Nativity in Baltimore.

Keep well and visit the blogspot site (http://holidaysjune2016.blogspot.com.au) to see what has been happening as I'll be updating that page as often as I can.

God bless you and keep you safe.

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O most holy heart of Jesus,

Fountain of every blessing,

I adore you, I love you,

And with lively sorrow for my sins

I offer you this poor heart of mine.

Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient

To your will.

Grant, good Jesus that I may live in you and for you.

Protect me in the midst of danger.

Comfort me in my afflictions.

Give me health of body,

Assistance in my temporal needs,

Your blessing on all that I do,

And the grace of a holy death.

Amen.
