‘Ach iad siúd, d'imigh siad
leo agus chraobhscaoil siad i ngach áit, agus chabhraigh an Tiarna leo ag
neartú an bhriathair leis na comharthaí a lean é’ (Marcas 16:20)
‘Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and
the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied
it.’ (Mark 16:20)
ó Mharcas 16:15-20 (Bliain A:
Lá le Pádraig)
from Mark 16:15-20 (Year A: St Patrick)
Léitear an sliocht seo ag
deireadh soiscéil Naomh Marcas. Uaireanta bíonn faitíos orainn glacadh le
cuireadh Dé. An mbeidh neart agam é a chomhlíonadh? Cad a cheapfaidh daoine
eile? B’Fhéidir nach bhfuil Dia ag
glaoch orm? Tá mé ró-óg. Nó tá mé ró-aosta.
Ach nuair a ghlaonn Dia
tugann sé an grásta dúinn é a dhéanamh.
Cuirtear tús le Faoistin
Naomh Pádraig mar seo
‘Ego Patricius, peccator rusticissimus et
minimus omnium fidelium et contemptibilis sum apud plurimos’.
‘Mise Pádraig, peacach ró-thuatach, an té is lú de na fíréin go
léir agus an té is lú a bhfuil meas ag a lán air’
This passage of today’s Gospel is the very end of the Gospel
of St Mark. Sometimes we are afraid to catch hold of God’s call. Will I have
enough stamina to fulfil it? What will peole think? May be God is not calling
me? I am too young. I am too old.
But when God calls he give us the grace to do it.
The Confession of St
Patrick begins thus:
‘I am Patrick, a sinner, most unlearned, the least of all
the faithful, and utterly despised by many…..’

Bridge’ from ‘The Piper’s Call’
