NEXT CHILDREN'S ROSARY: Sunday, June 7th, 6pm, Corpus Christi church, Lisdoonvarna. We congratulate our parishioner Moya Moloney who represented our parish by leading the third decade of the Rosary at the national Rosary rally in Knock on Saturday. We are so proud of her, and indeed of all Our Lady's young friends.

MAINTENANCE OF CHURCH GROUNDS IN SUMMER: sincere thanks to Pat Kennelly for volunteering to keep the church lawn cut at St. Augustine's church, Kilshanny. I have contracted Jason Howley to do so for the church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Toovahera, and Kilmoon cemetery.

BISHOP MICHAEL'S MESSAGE FOR EXAM STUDENTS: please read the full, inspiring message on either the parish website or the diocesan one. It includes these words: "God will be there with you to calm those nerves, to help you in ways you might not expect, and most of all, to give you the gift of perspective. No exam, no matter how important, can ever define you. You are much more than any exam, and much more important in God's eyes than any grade you might receive."

A PRAYER WRITTEN AFTER A RETREAT ENTITLED "What the Eucharist means to me.": Eucharistic Jesus, Lord of my life, open the eyes of my heart. My faith is meant to be more than a private, personal comfort-zone for just the two of us, to make me feel good. Let me not fall into the trap of spiritual superiority and the need to correct others. Make my heart kind and humble, a truly Eucharistic heart that is self-forgetful, all-embracing, and grateful for everyone and everything. At my baptism, when you poured your Holy Spirit into me, you sent me out on the mission to make the connection between what I do and say in the church, and how I treat others. Don't let me be so focused on You in the Eucharist that I can't see You in my brother or sister, especially in the hungry, the sick, and the hopeless. Mary, mother of the Eucharist, intercede for us. Amen.

FROM O Bread of Heaven by St. Alphonsus Liguori: O bread of heaven beneath this veil, thou dost my very God conceal. My Jesus dearest treasure hail, I love thee and adoring kneel. Each loving soul by thee is fed, with thine own self, in form of bread.
