Father Emmett invites us to explore the differences between ‘real’ Christian behaivour and ‘fake’ Christian behaviour. The King of the Universe, Jesus Christ, will judge me on the ‘real’ love I have demonstrated. Model yourself on Jesus. This week, reach out to someone, with your love, with the love of Jesus, present in you.

Father Padraig assuers us that life will never be conquered by death. Jesus will always have the last word.

God said “My Temple will be called a house of prayer. But you have turned it into a den of thieves”!”

Father Padraig explains that the third servant can be viewed as a ‘whistleblower’ who did not want to be drawn into a life of criminality. He suffered for his honesty. But his action was right and he will be rewarded by his ultimate master, God.

“In the Autumn of our lives, we will be judged on the love we have shown.”

The Feast of all the Saints of Ireland, our ancestors who kept alive a deep Celtic spirituality and passed on to us the gifts of Faith, Hope and Love which inspire us still today.
