We live in a world where rapid change has undermined the foundations of stability. People change jobs, addresses and partners. Professional footballers are more loyal to their bank account than to their club. People are loath to make a commitment forever, fearful of closing the door on alternative possibilities. They doubt if anybody can say ‘forever’. Yet, foreverness is a characteristic of love in God’s vocabulary. Your love lasts forever. Your truth is firmly established as the heavens. Jesus spoke of building the house of life on solid rock. His ideals and principles are valid for ages. Today’s gospel is about making a firm option to follow Jesus. Fidelity is the foundation of stability and the source of happiness. Our psalm celebrates the happiness of those who walk in the light of God’s face: they find joy every day in God’s holy name: and God’s justice is the source of their bliss. (Fr. Silvester O’Flynn, Intercom)	Email the Presbytery Priest on Call: Fr. M. Ó Móráin Tel. (094) 21844
