THE DEEP END ‘SEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME’
Jesus is overcome with fierce love and passion in today’s Gospel because of the injustice he sees before him. The goods sold in the Temple markets were used in sacrifices so that people could meet the requirements to be ‘closer’ to God. This model needed challenging. They have turned what should be a place
of sacredness into a place where what is important is monetary value.
What temples have we turned into market places today? Our world is driven by consumerism and profit at the expense of our environment and at the expense of the resources of the world’s poorest people. The Book of Creation is now speaking to us to stop making this house a market place. Climate change is having adverse effects on our weather systems here in Ireland and in the poorest regions of the world. Let us pray this Sunday that ‘zeal for Your house will consume’ us, that we will take the necessary steps to ensure a more sustainable world for all. World leaders are working towards a global treaty on climate change but they are not agreed on how to cut emissions to sufficient
levels. They need encouragement.
‘May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace… And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in this world, so that we can do what others claim cannot be done, to bring justice
Mary Clarke, Captain’s Road We express our deepest sympathies to their families
at this sad time. May they Rest in Peace. Amen.

ENTRANCE HYMN O comfort my people and calm all their fear,
and tell them the time of salvation draws near. O tell them I come to remove all their shame.
Then they will, forever, give praise to my name.
Proclaim to the cities of Judah my word; that ‘gentle yet strong is the hand of the Lord.’
I rescue the captives, my people defend, and bring them to justice and joy without end.
All mountains and hills shall become as a plain,
for vanished are mourning and hunger and pain.
And never again shall these war against you. Behold I come quickly to make all things new.
RECESSIONAL HYMN Holy God, we praise thy name; Lord of all, we bow before thee!
All on earth thy sceptre own, all in heaven above adore thee.
Infinite thy vast domain, everlasting is thy reign
Hark! The loud celestial hymn, angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heavens with sweet accord, holy, holy, holy Lord.
Holy Father, holy Son, Holy Spirit, three we name thee,
while in essence only one undivided God we claim thee; and adoring bend the knee, while we own the mystery.
