Trócaire
An Emergency Collection in aid of Trócaire’s work in East Africa
will take place in our Parish next weekend 22/23 July. Nearly 25 million
people in Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia are currently in urgent
need of food and water due to drought. Trócaire is reaching over
150,000 people across the region with emergency food, water and sanitation.
Needs are enormous. Please support our appeal and help us reach more people
with life-saving aid.

SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS Matthew
13:1-23
1. Jesus uses parables to make people think about their own responses to
his message. As you read this parable you may recognize that at different
times you have been like each of the different types of soil. As you recall
times when you presented fertile soil for the Word of God, what helped you
create that receptive atmosphere? What lessons for life do you get from
that?
2. Parents with children, teachers with pupils, speakers with listeners,
are all like sowers in a field where the preparation of the soil is up to
another – the child, pupil or listener. They can sow the seed but
cannot guarantee that it will bear fruit. At times there may be a temptation
not to try any more. The challenge is to sow in hope. When have you been
surprised by the harvest you have reaped?
3. ‘We are wasting our time here’ may sometimes be the apparent
wisdom in a group. Have there been times when you have gone against this
apparent wisdom and seen your efforts bear fruit?
