Family Enrichment Programme
Following the success of the Spring 2011 programme on marriage enrichment, the Pastoral Council of the Good Shepherd Parish, is pleased to announce that the programme will continue this term.
The aim is to support all our married couples in their love, so that their marriage can be as fruitful and life giving as possible right through their lives.
There will be a further series of talks led by Fr Michael Screene of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart from Croi Nua, Taylors Hill.
Topics: Ages and stages in marriage, Positive growth,
The dates are Monday 14th November, Monday 21st November,
Venue Cheshire House, Roscam. Time 8.30 pm -10.00pm
Who is this for?
For couples who want to get the most out of their marriage, whatever age or stage they are in. We would encourage couples to attend this together as just being present offers support to each other. We look forward to meeting you.
See posters and leaflets in the Church porch.

SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
MATTHEW 25:14-30
Jesus was angry at the way the Jewish leaders treated God’s gift of revelation to his people. They had turned it into a burden when it was intended to be life-giving to all. One of the ways they had done this was by putting strict observance of a multiplicity of rules at the centre of religious practice rather than a deep faith and trust in the forgiving love of God. What part have rules played for you in your life? Have they been life-giving?
Sometimes we can get a lesson on what is truly important in life from the example of people who are living in circumstances that on the surface are unorthodox, unconventional and sometimes irregular. What lessons have you learned from such witness?
We can fall into the trap of seeing our own gifts and talents as our personal possession so that we can do with them as we like, rather than share them as gifts to that they can be multiplied. What is your experience of boarding or sharing your own gifts? When did you feel most alive?

The master in the story is also someone we can celebrate. He is the kind of person who does not cling to power. He entrusts his property (his cause to others. Perhaps you have known leaders who have done this?
