These are the fabulous views looking out from insdie the local church in Creeslough. The Church faces onto Muckish mountain and with the furze in full flower at the moment, it all adds to the great view within.

Thought on Sunday – April – 22/04/2012

The following reflection is by Jane Mellett called ‘Open your eyes and hearts’

We hear in the Gospel today the two disciples announcing to the others about how they recognised Jesus in the breaking of the bread. Think of all the times we break bread, not just at Mass, but at weddings, family meals, catch ups with old friends and so on. Jesus spent most of his earthly life at table, eating and drinking, usually with those who were considered ‘socially unacceptable’. As we approach the Eucharistic Congress in June we must remember that the breaking of bread together is a powerful symbol. Each time we sit down at an important occasion or family meal we should remember that we are performing Eucharist. When we go about our daily work, when we help those in need of our love, our care, our listening ear, our action, we are doing Eucharist.


‘God of the Resurrection, God of the living. Untomb and uncover all that needs to live in me. Take me to people, events, and situations. And stretch me into much greater openness. For it is only then that I will grow and change. For it is only then that I will be transformed. For it is only then that I will know how it is. To be in the moment of rising from the dead.’ ~Joyce Rupp
