Month of November

Around this time of the year, people make an extra effort of visit the family grave, maybe to give the headstone a little clean or to do some weeding or to place a few flowers on the grave. We have a great respect for our faithful departed and are quite diligent when it comes to honouring their memory and resting place.

In these early days of November we pray not only for Saints we have known – parents, grandparents, neighbours and friends – we also ask God’s blessing and mercy for those still making their way to God’s eternal company.

Over the next two weekends (at 2pm) we will bless the graves in Whitechurch (Nov 3rd) and Oughterard (Nov 10th) cemeteries. As we honour our dead we cannot but feel a sense that now the baton has been handed on to us.  As we honour their memory, we ask their intercession and guidance as we try to harrow what they ploughed. That in centuries to come we will be remembered not just by a stone but by the faith we instilled in our children and community.

May we be worthy monuments for those who look to us for example …

With every blessing.

Fr. Joe O’Neill
