We need to imagine things before we can reach them, We need to imagine the future before we truly inhabit it. Covid 19 has taught us that the old system is dying, the vast majority of the Priests in Killaloe Diocese are cocooning. The Spirit is pointing us to something new but we will need imagination and courage to go there. Not to keep going back or thinking that we can go back to what was there. Before each of us have been called at baptism, called and gifted to become involved in our community, throughout this crisis we see so many people “ministering” to each other, caring, giving and reaching out. We need to discover our giftedness to become involved in our community and to enable others to also become involved. In the Diocese of Killaloe we are lucky that 25 people are presently being prepared for ministry in catechesis and Pastoral Care. We warmly welcome this initiative and look forward to these generous people becoming involved. We are lucky that we have Rita O’Dwyer from our area.
The future is in all our hands, We are called to become aware of our own gifts and to encourage and enable the gifts of others. I conclude with a prayer from planetary prayers.
I am too young to be dead
To be stagnant in Spirit
Inspire me to speak original and
Life giving words
And to creatively give shape to the new
Come and teach me how to
Dance with delight
Whenever you send a new
Melody my way
