New Years Reflection - Sr Dympna Clancy


We repeat a reflection shared with us by Sr Dympna Clancy on New Years Day 2017 where she reflects on what New Year could mean for us as individuals, families and as the family of families in the diocese of Limerick.

Gospel - Baptism of the Lord


John the Baptist proclaimed, ‘The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’
