St. Mark's Gospel:
This year we read St.
Mark's gospel which was the first gospel to be written down. The vast majority
of the people living in the time of St. Mark 70 A.D. could not read, in fact
only one in ten could do so. Generally information was passed on by word of
mouth. For hundreds of years there would have been few copies of the New
Testament because books were very expensive for the simple reason that the
books were written on vellum made from the skin of sheep. It took a monk three
years to put New Testament on the sheep skin and it took 900 hides to contain
the full narrative. This all changed with the discovery of the printing press
in the 15th century and then bibles became available to all. Mark
was "The Secretary" of Peter so will reflect Peter's understanding of
Jesus.
St. Valentine's Day: This initiative is inspiring by The Joy of
Love, a letter from Pope Francis to the world, where he emphasises the
fundamental importance of time together and personal communication as
foundations for a love that lasts.
As part of the
Preparation for the World Meeting of Families, an opportunity to talk
and reflect about family life will be offered in
three locations in our diocese on a particular Saturday in Lent. We are calling
this time of reflection- Let's Talk
Family. To learn more about it please come along to an introductory evening
on Wednesday 7th February in the Pastoral Centre, Cavan at 7pm.
Given that St. Valentine's Day falls this year on Ash Wednesday this is a good
year to think outside the chocolate box!
